Introducing: Oliver Martin
Born: July 23, 2007 at 12:17pm in Regensburg, Germany
Weight: 3820 grams (8 lbs, 6.8 oz)
Length: 52 cm (20.5 inches)
Water broke at 6am on July 22 – labor was induced at 6pm later that day. It was tough, but we’re doing well now and we’re happy to be at home. I’m exhausted and sitting is not fun, so I’m taking a posting mini-break and I’ll be back with a full report on the birth in a few days.
We’re all happy to be home!

Congratulations, you guys! I’m surprised you’re already home. Sorry about the sitting difficulties – hopefully, that will abate soon.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch an die Eltern und Willkommen auf der Welt, Oliver!
Oh congratulations! He’s so cute. And big
Definitely doesn’t have that newborn look, he’s already mature for his age.
I’m glad to hear you are doing well too. Put your feet up, get some rest and enjoy that beautiful baby boy.
Thrilled for you all. Hope you’re feeling tip-top again very soon. (Blythe’s comment sounded very authoritative. I’d go with it.) (Hope Charlie’s being a good big brother.)
