Announcing Michael Paul Selwa!

Announcing Michael Paul Selwa! - 08/14/05 01:47 PM

Hi to everyone,

Michael Paul Selwa arrived by C-section on Wednesday afternoon, August 10, 2005, at 2:30 p.m. He weighed 7 pounds, 15 ounces, and measured 19 inches in length. I was trying for a VBAC (vaginal birth after Cesarean Section) as Mary was a C-section, but my contractions stalled out and never dilated efficiently enough, so we decided to do a second C-section. Mary is a very proud and happy big sister, and Matt and I are thrilled. We think he looks like his daddy! I came home Friday afternoon and although very sore, am working on a quick recovery. He seems to be a pretty laid back little boy who does NOT like to have wet diapers and his clothes changed! He is also a big snuggler and will curl up into a fetal position when over your shoulder.

Our new house construction will hopefully be wrapping up this week so we expect to be in my the end of the month. I thank our Lord for the wonderful blessings he has brought into our lives and am ever grateful.

Congratulations to Mom & Dad, and to Mary for becoming a big sister, a VERY important role!

Welcome to the world, Michael Paul. smile

He's beautiful Jen, just beautiful. Your family has been on my mind, and I'm so tickled to see these photos. Wishing you a speedy recovery so you can do all those things you're craving to do.

Thank you for sharing these precious times.

Congratulations to the entire Selwa family! laugh laugh laugh

Welcome to the world, Michael! You're lucky to have been born into such a wonderful family. smile

Looks like we have another W.I.T. (Wacko-in-Training)!

I've been thinking and praying for your family the past few weeks, and hoping that everything came out okay. Now that it has, we can all enjoy the next few months, and lots and lots of photos of him! smile

Congratulations again! After all the pregnancy and stuff, you've got the adorable, lovable reward! smile

Jen,

Congratulations on a fine looking son.

He didn't look too happy in that first photo but he seems to have adjusted by the later shots.

Take care of yourself- I'm sure your family will take good care of you.

Congats on the new little guy, although he sure doesn't look too happy to be in that bright light in your first picture! He looks pretty perfect to me.

Boy, now the fun begins. Mary is all smiles now, but just wait 'til she figures out she's not top dog anymore wink
