baby boy v

one of brent's students made a blog for eli


brent & kristin with eli kaleb vanhulsentop born thursday may 25th at 4.40am. weighing 7lbs 4oz
length 51cm (approx 20 inches)


kristin & eli


new dad brent did good. he stayed in the delivery room the whole time (3 hours) but his mom cut the cord (he is very queasy with the sight of blood had started off the pregnancy saying he would not be able to attend--so we are all very proud of him!)


kristin did great! she had a fast labour that she said was bearable without drugs and no tearing! wow

clever title, being the fifth boy. maybe you're in for a boy, if the pattern sticks then, eh?

hey... alvin is back... what's your schedule like after next week (julie and the kids are away for another 10 days or so)

hey denise, i quickly read your comment then went away...i was thinking about "clever title," then i realized what you actually meant (i'm sleepy ok? hee hee) that its got a double meaning. i meant "v" as in "vanhulsentop" but ya, "v" as in "five" is totally appropriate too ha ha.

so far in our group its gone
boy (1st child mar 04)
boy (1st child sep 04)
girl (us, 1st child feb 05)
boy (2nd child jul 05)
boy (1st child aug 05)
girl (1st child apr 06)
boy (1st child may 06)

interesting to look at it that way

i guess i could start a baby poll like kelly did :)

week after next is pretty open. we should make plans :)
