With joy, peace and love we welcome Cirrus Robert Luoma Cox to our family!
Born: 8:20am, Saturday, February 16, 2013
Weight: 9 lbs, 6 oz
Length: 20.5 inches
Cirrus was in no rush to arrive on his estimated due date and seemed to enjoy the many miles of snow shoeing, skiing, and walking that Stacey put in over the last week. (With Cadel arrving at 40 weeks +11 days and Senja at +6 days, we were not too surpised at Cirrus's +10 days.)
When he decided he was ready, Cirrus arrived quickly and peacefully. Stacey went into labor just before 4:00am on Saturday morning, and 4.5 hours later Cirrus was born. His birth was a water birth, a first for us and it was a wonderful transition for Cirrus into our world. He spent his first several hours happily snuggling with his mama and papa. Then, he did spend some time letting us know that even though is is the smallest in our family, his little voice will be heard!
For those who are interested in comparisions, here are Cadel and Senja's stats:
Cadel Alexander: 06/07/08 7 lbs 13 oz 20 inches
Senja Anastasia: 08/15/10 8 lbs 13 oz 21 inches
Cirrus Robert: 02/16/13 9 lbs 6 oz 20.5 inches
Here he is getting his first weigh-in.
Happy Birth Day Cirrus! Even if he can't enjoy his birthday cake, we certainly will.
We all enjoy some time together.
Happily snuggled on Justin's shoulder.
