forgot to add this to last post ... Check out his pictures in the hospital's Web Nursery.
I like #4 personally.
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.
"I'm aiming for heaven, but I'll probably wind up down in hell"
About Me
- nancy
- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

Manual version to flip baby from breech to head down, Labor, Delivery, Emergency surgery due to cord detaching from placenta, Scary heart issues from losing over 40% of my blood supply, and then a blood transfusion due to the extreme loss of blood. Whew!

I like number two. He looks like he's ready to kick some serious boo-tay.
I can't seem to see any others than #1.....hmmmm
So So glad you are both home and well! I can't believe what a big boy he was!
there are thumbnails under the first picture. Just click on each one, there are no arrows/next buttons.
They are all too cute, one beautiful boy you have there. I agree 4 is pretty much awesome.
hehe so cute!
If you quickly click from pic to pic (esp #2 and #3) he dances..
Was that mean to do to your kid?
I like #3 can't really say why I just do.
Way to cute!!! Congrats again. Take care of yourself. Glad you made it home safe.
Oh my goodness! Too frickin' cute!! Love them all!! :)
Adorable! Congratulations!
Glad you're home and on the mend. Keep up the good work...
I love #4! Too cute!
He was just a few ounces more than Sam but the same length. He is so cute!
Seriously! You guys make the cutest friggin' babies!
Glad to hear you are home and feeling a little better! Here's to a speedy recovery!
Nancy Karl is beautiful! congrats!!
Congratulations, Nancy! He is beautiful!

I think numbers one and four look a lot like Ella...the expression on his face remind me of her expression in some of the pictures of her I've seen. SOO cute!!
He's GORGEOUS, was so worried about you, hope you recover quickly. X Artblog
He is TOO CUTE! I love number 3 :)
I love #3! He is just so freaking cute! I wish I could pinch those perfect cheeks! (that sounds really creepy- but I mean it in the best possible way- chubby baby bheeks are a weakness of mine!)
He's adorable! Congratulations!
Now that i am doing it from work i can see all 4! Must be an issue with my Home Computer~ He is too cute for words...
Oh my god. He is so cute it brings tears to my eyes! I think I like the first one the best, actually, but they're all adorable. Aren't you just melting right now? He is beautiful. I think he's going to have blonde hair too.
His head is so perfect.
What a cutie -- and I, I will admit, am not one prone to thinking all babies are adorable...
but seriously, how cute is he?
I like #3. Looks like he is having a good stretch.
Got all caught up late last night--wow, what an ordeal! Hope you are feeling better and enjoying the reward.
Also, got your text message from the 10th this morning! Needed to reset my phone--text and voicemail messages have not been coming through for days. Sorry.
Glad to see you are ok and home. He is a very handsome little man! Congratulations! Try and get some rest. #4 is adorable!!
they are all awfully cute!!
i just read through your ordeal. holy shit, you must feel like you've been run over by an 18 wheeler. twice.
i'm so glad you are home with a healthy baby. so glad!!
#3 looks like he is dancing. ADORABLE! And what a perfect shaped head......
~Monica
~sniffles~ He is totally adorable!! OMG... I wanna faint.
Good job Mommy.... He's finally here!
I'm with you Nancy I love #4..Grabing that blanket is adorable.
I can't get over how alert he is!! That's great!!!
Karl is beautiful. I just looked back at the hospital pictures of my three kids and there is no way I would have wanted to share them with the world. They are all beautiful now but on their first day in this world, not so much.
Congratulations!! He's way cute!
Ok, So I know by baby #3 your a pro at this baby stuff but just in case you would like some super helpful baby tips....

He is so cute! I love #4 too.
He is so cute! I like number one,BTW. If you go through the pictures really fast it looks like he's dancing.
They are all cute!
Awwww # 4 is precious !
Holy crap lady, you went and had a baby while I sat around and didn't read blogs!
And he's perfect! Congratulations - and I can tell he is related to you based on his "I will fuck you up" expression in that first picture.
Karl is adorable! Congrats to you and your family!
I like #2 the best...but they are all great. Is there anything more marvelous than a new baby?!
I already commented about numbers one and four looking a lot like Ella...but I also wanted to let you know how much I've enjoyed following your blog, especially Karl's journey into life. I tagged you for an award...check out my latest post. :)
