Well 9 months ago......you guys know how that works. Blaise Beaux Bourgeois was born on Saturday Feb. 4. He was 3 weeks early. The week before the delivery his weight had slowed dramatically. The placenta had started to calcify. It does that at week 38-39 when it matures. We were only 35-36 weeks. They were probably going to C-section him out. When we went in that Friday she had already started to dilate on her own. This was good news. So they decided to keep it going and she gave birth naturally on Saturday. He was 5lbs 11ozs. He is a tiny little guy. That is a .308 bullet in the pic below. He looks just like me when I was a baby.





















One very cool thing I did was I asked our doctor if I could use one of my own knives to cut the umbilical cord. He said I could. He said we would not ask the hospital for permission as he already knew what they would say. He told us his nurses would not care. So I did it. I was going to cut the cord anyway so why not do it in a cool unique way. The knife I used is called the Izula from ESEE. I posted it on their forum and the owner of the company offered to send me a new knife as a replacement for the one I cut the cord with because I am going to save it for my son.
