So, Mary came up with the idea that on this kid, we wouldn't find out the gender until it was born...at first, I was against it because I wanted to plan things out and be prepared...but we agreed on it. And I have to say, it was such a neat experience. I mean, it would be exciting if we already knew (like we did w/Korbin), but it just added a little excitement to the whole thing.
We started off the morning by getting up at 5:00 in the morning....ugh...neither of us got much sleep last night, so we were tired, but very eager to find out who this little person was that we were going to have in our lives after today!We got to the room and they did all of the prep stuff and then whisked Mary off into the O.R. I got to dress up in a fancy shmancy outfit with booties and a cap again! I had to wait several minutes to meet them in the O.R. because it turns out they couldn't find the doctors! lol, it was kinda funny..
Anyway, the doctor's were operating for a few minutes and then said "does dad want to say if it's a boy or a girl?" So naturally, I stood up and I see my child face down with the doctor's hand covering its little bottom haha! He said "here you go!" and uncovered it and, welp, it's a boy! My first image of my son was him mooning me! lol....Haha, anyway, the doctors were great and had fun with it. Oh and another cool thing is that they had music playing in the room while they were operating....not DMX-style gangsta music, but nice, light, relaxing music. He was born when Train - Soul Sister was playing....you should youtube the song if you've never heard it before....anyway....here are a few pics from when he was about 30 seconds old!
Oof! He had a rough first few minutes!
He was having a hard time getting all the fluid out of his lungs, so they hooked him up to this little martian head thing to help him clear everything out. The little trooper made it through it though!
Strikin a pose for the ladies ;)
Ahhhh.....just relaxin....
Look at those pretty eyes looking at mommy! So cute!
Me and the little guy #2
Ahh....gotta love the first few tar diapers.....notice the gloves...no way I'm gettin that Sh!t on me! lol!
Okay, so Mary and I think this picture looks Just like Korbin! It is one of my favs so far though...he's so peaceful and cute...We love our new little addition to the family!
oh, and P.S. the little guy's name is Quinn Daniel Nelson

He is SO perfect! Congrats!! Love the blog post Russ. It will be a day you remember always. How sad Korbin has to wait to see him, but I'm sure he is being spoiled by family :)
Hurray! Congrats on a healthy baby boy! I agree that the name is very cute. Glad all are doing well.
Yay! I am so glad he is here! Congrats, and he does look like a little Korbin. I hope you recover fast! -SHayna
Congratulations on your new baby. He is so cute. Thats so fun that you didn't know tell he was born what the gender was. I think that I would like to do that with our next. We already have a girl and a boy so I think we would be prepared for either gender. Anyway, your little family is so cute, and I'm so happy for both of you.
He is sooooo adorable! And he does look a lot like Korbin. Congrats. Can't wait to see him...and you guys!
Ohh my goodness he is such a cutie!!!!! AWW I want to see him. I'll wait to say Congrats in person cause we have the sniffles in our house!! But congrats!
YEA!!! Congrats! I am so excited for you guys. Glad everything went okay. Love the pictures. He is a cutie.
