Announcing the arrival of Baby Vernon!

Proud parent: Darrin Bradshaw
Support: Mandy Bradshaw, Ruth Bradshaw, Nancy Owings, Lori Alley, Tate and Remy Bradshaw
Size: 1.6 mm.
Arrival: January 28th 2009 at 8:32 am
Method of delivery: Urethroscopy
Doctor: Vernon Cahoon, MD

Proud papa is now resting comfortably doped up on a cocktail of medications to help all sorts of unpleasant side effects.

Support person #1 is not resting so comfortably because she is suffering from strep throat and really wants to die.

We decided as we were taking our drugs at the hospital that if this was our first date, there probably would not be a second.

Also, we were going to take pictures of little Vernon but Support person #1 accidentally crushed him into little bits after trying to show proud papa. Ooops.

PS, Don't call child protective services, Baby Vernon was our (when I say our, I mean Darrin, mostly) 6th kidney stone baby. Baby #7 will arrive at an undetermined time/method.

Hoorah! Do I have to claim Aunt-hood on that one...? Sorry about the strep. Drink water. That's pretty much my answer to everything. It may not help, but at least you'll be hydrated, right?

Congrats Darrin! Too bad you didn't get an epidural though. Get better Mandy!

Yikes! I hope everyone gets feeling better and no one dies! Let me know if there is something I can do!

Mandy said...

Thanks guys! Baby Vernon sleeps in his Biohazard bag which is being held in place with a magnet on the fridge. He's such a quiet baby....
