Baby Cletus is Here!



As dictated to the Vol-in-Law by Vol Abroad, Monday 4th June:

"After a long labour (ViL: from Thursday through Sunday morning!), and delivery by emergency c-section, baby Cletus was born at 6.30am Sunday morning. The VA should be home and blogging again tomorrow Tuesday (probably in the evening). Baby Cletus weighed 7lb 5 oz but we don't know any of his other statistics because we lost the piece of paper they gave us with his length..."

(ViL: Now Cletus is born, does that make him Baby Vol?)

  3. I am so thrilled for you all. VA, I'm sorry you had such a tough time of it.

    ViL: Well, he's not exactly Cletus the Fetus anymore. I guess Baby Vol, or Little Vol, or Little Orange? Or.... I dunno.)

  6. Wow! Three days of labor! You are a tough cookie. Congrats on a healthy baby, even if you did lose the piece of paper with his vitals on it ( I **love** that!).

    All best from Knoxville,

  11. Congratulations! You're tough, in labor for days! He really wanted to drag the whole affair out, huh? I like the name "Little Orange" because I want to call him Little O. Miss you guys and wish I was there. Love to LO.
