Hello gang,

thirty hours ago (April 9th 19:35) our firs son,
Feodor Engels has been born in a dramatically
performed cesarean section! The birht Weigh was
measuared at 2310g (81,5 oz)
the lenght is 49cm (19,29")

Head circumference is 34,5cm (13,58"),
I didnt cared to take the OTT *g*

He hurried himself to come 3 weeks ahead of the date.
He was transfered to the University Clinic in Frankfurt,
were here is lying at the intensive care station full wired. :-(
My wife will be hopfully stable enough tomorow to be
transfered in the same Clinic. Right now she is still in
an other hospital.

I just wanted to share this, and telling you how proud and
sorrow i am right now.

We trust your docs and nurses will have them both in great shape in a short time. Thanks for sharing your special moments with us. Your son will be old enough to crawl about the pumpkin patch this year. Share him with us as he grows into a real person. Love him and ma ma to the maximum. This special time goes by so fast.

I hope you are dedicating your pumpkin to your son and name it "Feodor" after your son.
Then I wish the pumpkin is the biggest one you have ever grown.
