We have a brand new baby boy!
Seth Griffin R. was born by Caesarian section at 12:15 pm, Tuesday, February 27, 2007, surrounded by a throng of admiring family. He weighed 5 lbs. 13 ounces and was 19 inches long. He has lots of blonde wavy hair and is doing beautifully. Mom and Dad are recovering nicely as well.
Seth is fully developed and doesn't need to be in an incubator or have any wires or gadgets attached to him. He has the requisite number of parts and limbs. Everyone who has seen him has fallen instantly in love with him, especially Mom and Dad.
Mikki intends to breast feed but as of when I left the hospital at 5:15 pm Seth was still sleeping and dozing and hadn't shown a lot of interest in eating yet. I assured Mikki that will change soon enough.
First picture as Dad Danny carried Sethfrom the delivery room to the nursery.
Just moments later, Daddy examineshis newborn son in the nursery.
Danny beams as the nurse
Great-Aunt Cecil holds Seth entirely too long.
Great-Aunt Sue took too long as well.
Now...That's better!Seth Griffin and his favorite Great-Aunt...ME ! !
The happy new family...Mom Mikki, baby Seth and Dad Danny.
If all goes well Mikki and Seth should get to
go home on Thursday. Once again, there's a
possibility I may be going to Mikki and Danny's
for a few days to help out with the newborn as
Mikki recovers from her C-section. If so, I'll
leave a note here on the blog so everyone
will know I haven't skipped the country. Mikki
and Danny don't have internet access so I won't
be able to blog while I'm gone. If I go, that is.
After observing some of the finer details of
birthing babies, Jessica made the observation
that she's not exactly sure she's ready for it herself.
Everybody in the room, as one voice, told her
it's a bit too late to back out now. She's just a tad
committed to having a baby now, since she
only has a couple of months to go till
she's due to deliver Emmy.
From Mikki, Danny and on behalf of all our
family, our heartfelt thanks to all of you
who've been praying with us for a safe,
healthy baby and delivery for baby
Seth and Mikki.
Y'all are THE BEST!
It's been a tiring day, and I wasn't
even the one giving birth.
May God richly bless you all,
dear friends and family.
All my love,

Well, now, that's the best news I've seen all day! He is five ounces more than Care Bear was, and she was 3 weeks early. Now she's just a very healthy size, and Feisty is the tiny one. Congratulations, Great Auntie! I am so thankful all went so well.
Let me be the second to offer my congratulations to the family.
He's a beauty (is that okay to say about boys?) and I'm so glad all is well.
Thanks for the good news!!
Is there anything sweeter than a newborn baby? Congratulations everyone!! I'm so thankful all went well and mommy and Seth are fine. Thank You Lord.
Thanks for the pictures Diane. He looks so healthy and adorable. Enjoy!
Oh, Praise God, Diane. Congratulations to all of you. My word, all that high blood pressure was starting to get scary, but look at them!
Beautiful. I so, so love the photo of Daddy and Seth - you can see that baby is going to be the apple of his Daddy's eye.
and I'm glad they finally let YOU hold that baby. Not that you were itching to or anything. LOL
Oh! Wonderful day! xoxoxo
Yesssssssssss!!! Oh Diane, I am smiling from ear to ear...been wondering all evening what's going on and worrying...now this great news!!! Congratulations to ALL OF YOU and oh my, baby Seth is such a cutie and you'd never know he was early...I guess he just couldn't wait to see his FAVOURITE great aunt Diane!!! LOL All my best to all of you xoxox

xoxox
Congratulations! And may God continue to bless this precious little one and his dear family!
Enjoy! We'll miss seeing you if you go...but understand completely. You need to keep practicing for little Emmy! Ha! No practice needed--I'm sure. She will be welcomed with love,,,,with open and ready arms!
Diane
P.S. Tell Jess not to worry about delivery...that's nothing compared to having her dear sweet little bably grow up!!!!!
Congratulations Great Aunt Diane! He is just a doll and I can tell he probably won't be spoiled at all.
I'm glad he's here and hope they get to go home soon.
Another example of why it's called a blessed event.
Thank our Good Lord modern medicine knows how to keep Mom and Baby safer. What a relief they are.
Did you check his hands and tootsies? How big are they in reference to the rest of him? Starting life at 21 inches gets him a headstart. My 21 incher is six feet four. Congratulations to everyone.
Great photos, Diane!
Seth, meaning "Appointed by God", what a powerful name you have Little One.
May you grow as our Lord Jesus did, in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man.
Congratulations to all of you!! So glad to know that mom and baby are doing well. What a blessing!
Praise God. I'm so thankful it's over and baby Seth and his mama are doing so well. What a blessing!!
I had to smile at how you wrote it all up. "You being Seth's favorite" and all. LOL too cute Diane. Congratulation's Auntie.
Diane,
Praise the Lord for Seth’s safe arrival and congratulations to the whole family. What a close and loving family you have…that is a blessing. I come from a relatively small family and love seeing big families loving one another.
Can’t say as I blame Jessica for getting a little nervous but she will be just fine when the time comes.
Love and Hugs, Lyndy

Danny reminded me of Muzz when we had Daniel
that new proud father look :)
As a person who has had 3 c-sections Mikki needs to get out of bed and walk around lots now - helps the healing. It will hurt though.
My thoughts are with her on her recovery
Hes such a cute will button
