Our baby Alexander was born today at 11:45 am. He's 7lbs 11 oz. of perfect baby boy. Alex and Lizzie are both doing just fine. All three of us are tired, but very happy. He had to be delivered as a c-section, so we'll be in the hospital for a few more days and mostly offline. The fuull story will be posted later, but here are a few pix to tide you over until then.




He's adorable! He's perfect! And you both have that great 'happy deer in headlights' look. :)
I especially love the immediately post-c-sec picture of Alex and Liz.
(Strangely enough, I think he looks a lot like Chris.)

As strong as the Troia genes have been in Chris and Michelle's children, I think I see a lot of Grandpa Michael Polay showing up in Alex (perhaps the Polay genes are stronger)...but it is early to tell. No matter who he looks like, he sure is a good looking kid (lots of good genes!)! His Grandpa Wettengel and I are eager to meet him face-to-face...the perfect "Little Prince."
Congratulations to the both of you! He's a very cute young man!

Posted by: Reesh at March 29, 2006 02:58 PMThe look of sheer joy and pride on your faces says more than words can ever express.
Congratulations to you and your new addition! I still think it's wrong that Alex has more hair than his dad though!
Lots of love from over here,
Claire
got here through ms. jenni's site; many, many congrats! (c-section babies are the cutest, although i won't tell that to my dear friend who is in labor right this minute.) Ħque dios le bendiga!

Alex is a handsome fella! The upside of the c-section is no smooshy-faced babies! I'd say you got a good one.
Kris and I are looking forward to introducing our boys...Henry's first playmate!
Big ups from Brooklyn, yo.
