Jyles Alvin Rick Kennedy!!!!!

And you have FINALLY made your appearance!!!! Julie and Sheldon delivered a baby boy this morning by c section. Julie had been back and forth from the hospital since this past Friday.  Her due date was suppose to have been Feb 6th, however, they are questioning that she was given the wrong due date now because baby was completely content right were he was in mommy's tummy!  The doctors weren't too concerned. 

After trying a bunch of different natural methods to bring on labour since Friday, the midwives/doctors decided to start with slow induction earlier this week.  Then just yesterday they decided to put her on the drip which is the most extreme induction method... and suppose to bring on labour fairly quickly.  This too failed... as she laboured all night, and babies heart beat dropped 2-3 times, the obst. decided it wasn't going anywhere and they needed to do a C Section.

So early this morning sometime just before 7 am, they delivered a baby boy!
