Please welcome Michael Basi, born Nov. 30,2011 at 9:05 pm, 7 lb. 10 oz. He is in the NICU for respiratory troubles. I will post details when I get home or when WordPress decides to interface properly with the iPhone. In the meantime, here’s a photo!

Oh my! Congrats! A beautiful little boy!!! May his NICU stay be brief. (And we tend to have drama with our births too. 2 early morning emergency c-sections…okay maybe the third wasn’t too dramatic). Hope you are getting some rest and doing well!
Oh my goodness! Congratulations on his birth, and you will all be in my prayers for the trip home to happen quickly!

What a beautiful Advent gift! Congratulations on the newest member of your family.
Best wishes, Kathleen. Your baby was born on the feast of St. Andrew the Apostle. He not only has St. Michael the Archangel as his patron, he has St. Andrew to watch over him, too. That’s a lot of power. He looks darling and if he remains as active as he was in the womb, you will certainly have your work cut out for you. His patrons will come in very handy.
🙂 You know, I was looking through all the December feast days and when it came down to November 30th I never remembered to go looking again. Christian had suggested Andrew as a middle name. Too bad!
Congratulations! Yea for Nov. 30th–Michael and Evan will share the same birthday. 🙂
Yes, Alex and I already talked about that. He thought that was the coolest thing ever. 🙂
You had your baby! Congratulations!! I’m just catching up on all your posts now & trying to figure out the order. Praying for you & for Michael that his stay in the NICU is short. I’m sure that’s not how you envisioned his arrival. But I’m sure in no time he’ll be strong and ready to greet the world. Congrats again & take care of yourself & that beautiful baby! Sending hugs across the miles…
Congratulations! I hope he graduates from NICU in short order. I
can’t believe you are blogging already! –Aunt Rosie
