IT’S A BOY!

Thu, 1 Feb 2007 22:37 UTC

Sean Quinn Ramsey was born this morning (Feb 1st) at 2:27AM. He was a big baby, weighing in at 9lbs. 7oz. and 19.7 inches long. Lizzy delivered him completely natural, without any pain killers or an epidural, but she was in labor for about 22 hours and almost had to have a caesarean section because of the length of the labor.

We’re still at the hospital, and Mom and baby are currently resting well.

More details and many pictures to follow at BenandLiz.com.

UPDATE: If you’d like to leave a comment, please do so here. My wife wants to keep track of them all in one place for scrapbook purposes.

Congratulations Ben and Liz! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy—Amber’s almost nine months now and it has been an amazing experience.

Congratulations Ben & Liz!

By the way, if you add one more name you can use the cool initials ‘SPQR’

Congratulations! I found the first couple of days tiring, and found myself thinking that everyone had exaggerated how hard it was having kids-~~there’s not too much for a dad to do at first (especially if you have mom-in-law helping you out~~-you should look into that!), but then it does in deed get hard.

But it’s totally worth it! Congratulations you two!

Congratulations Ben and Liz! We just had our baby on Dec. 11th so I know what it’s like. 22 hours is a long time, I feel for you Ben, women in labor are sometimes hard to deal with. FOR GOOD REASON though

I will check out the pics you post on BenandLiz when i get a moment, but congratulations and I am sorry to hear about your grandmother.

~ Peace ~

Congrats Ben and Liz! Beautify little boy you’ve got there. Too bad they don’t have Dr Seuss style books for learning PHP

Congratulations both. Get your wife a having a baby present – a necklace or ring with Sean’s birthstone is the way to go, you’ll score beau coup points.

The best parenting tip I ever heard was “sleep when the baby sleeps”.
