It's a boy!
Eight lbs., 2 ounces, big feet, big hands, rather calm and self-contained but he's still a "horse with no name" until the parents come to a meeting of the minds.
Claire and I just got home and pictures will follow but here's the story: Nathie started having pretty strong contractions during the night and during all of the day; however, they were 20 minutes to an hour apart. The two excited kids were running rings around her. Claire and I came in expecting an unusual day time birth that really didn't start until 8pm. That was when Julian and Phoebe went to bed--at which point Nathie promptly got down to business. She just needed to be able to focus and not worry about the other two. Within an hour and a half, she gave birth, at 9:34 pm and so quickly that Olaf had to actually leap into the birthing pool to catch Baby Krull. (For those who are unaware, this is a water birth at home with attending midwives (3).)
All is well with the Krulls and we all send our congratulations and good wishes.
Congratulations Nathie, Olaf and Family!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have a new little baby "Mackrull" (mackerel) the way he took to the water! Hope all is going swimmingly! We're proud of you!

Dear All,
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for our new family member, a Taurus . . . a bull of a guy! Name him Nova? Just popped into my mind.
Hey Bonnie,
I never got the Kitchen Sink posting! Just found out from Mom that it was there. Maybe you have to sign me in anew: karmapress@aol.com, geshela3
I'll give it a whirl now. Hope it gets through.
Long life and love for all,
