I am quite pleased to announce that after 12 hours of induced labor that failed and ended in a C-section anyway, Liam Dakota Crockett has officially arrived. The hospital where we were at did not offer internet access so now that we are home, there is a chance for me to answer the all important questions...
He was born on March 15, 2006 at 7:56 PM. He weighed 8 lbs and 3 oz and was 18.3 inches long. All of the appropriate appendages are in their right places and he is doing fine.
His mother, that would be me, is OK. I'm a little sore from the incision and a little tired as I am breastfeeding and up at all hours but other than that, there are no problems and we are both in tip top shape. Thanks to all those who hung in there with me and you can expect to see pics of him probably by tomorrow afternoon. I'll post a link in a message here to my website when they are up and running.
Hooray, I can go back to sleeping on my stomach finally! ;D

Congratulations! I'm glad you're both healthy. I was starting to wonder about you. Aren't you glad you're NOT in Dinotopia? Here they can at least do surgery in a clean and sterile operation room. lol
Ok, so my guess was about week off, I always preferred precise calculations anyway... O:)
Have fun sleeping on your stomach and wearing normal jeans!!!
You can have Leggy for a while for chore around the house. I won't be able to keep him here for long anyway when Az gets back.

Congratulations buttercup on the new arrival.
That makes 6 hatchdays this month.
I forgot to tell everyone on here that my hatchday was the 16th. Sorry for the delay, but I had a lot of things on my mind at the time and I forgot about it.

It seems everybody's hatchday is in March. For some strange reason in my real life, April has but few birthdays, May has none but March... I lost count years ago on the sheer number of March people I know... I never had my birthday to myself, there were always onthers in my vicinity with the same birthday. There's really something with March and birthdays. ;D I think here in the Netherlands there's a link between the summervacation in August and the annual March birthwave.

Congratulations on the birth of your son=) I can't wait until he's old enough to start coming on here and being corrupted into a lifelong love of DInotopia! And yes, I want pictures!

OK, in response to the high demand for pics of Liam, I will endeavor to put some up on my website by this weekend. I should be able to do it and then everybody will be happy....he really is adorable! (I know taht I am biased but I do not care, he's CUTE!) Give me until Sunday evening and the pics should be posted and for those who don't have my website address, I will post a link here when they are up!

I had mail today! It was a card announcing Liam's birth, including a picture and I have to say I second the view of the mother: the boy is impossibly cute! I got to see Liam before you do!
