Alex has arrived!


At approx. 7:33 pm EST.  Alexander Cole Correa decided to grace us with his presence.

He gave us a little trouble there at the end, and it turned out that he was face up, 
which makes passage a little more difficult.  After what seemed like 10 mins of pushing and alot of nurses & and the Dr. scurrying about and pulling him out with forcepts, he finally made his appearance.  

He is 7 lbs 3/4 oz.  A little cone headed due to the trauma of the birth, but he is perfect.
Both mom & Alex are doing well.  Amanda is resting and doing well, but is pretty wore out and starving. :)  Food is on the way.  As soon as we get u
p to our room, we'll post more, and I am sure Amanda will share her thoughts on her experience.
thanks again for all your thoughts & prayers.

Love, J

Way To Go Lil' Miss!
I'm so happy he's here, healthy and amazingly cute, (like that would be a surprise to anyone!:)
Congratulations to you both. Your life will never be the same, but it's soooooo much more wonderful, i'm sure already at this minute you are wondering what would we ever do without him. Instant LOVE! That's for sure. Enjoy him, and know you are thought of often and missed back here! And of course, he has the best daddy ever (besides Brian's daddy). Gosh -- just very happy for you both!
