Sean Quinn Ramsey was born this morning (Feb 1st) at 2:27AM. He was a big baby, weighing in at 9lbs. 7oz. and 19.7 inches long. Lizzy delivered him completely natural, without any pain killers or an epidural, but she was in labor for about 22 hours and almost had to have a caesarean section because of the length of the labor.

We’re still at the hospital, and Mom and baby are currently resting well.

More details and many pictures to follow.

Congratulations!

And, wow. Mine was only 7lb 9oz, and I just about left my husband for the nice man who came to give me an epidural.

He’s gonna be a real hit at DragonCon with a name like Sean Quinn Ramsey. He’s like Highlander! Congratulations, you two!

Congrats!

Congratulations! I found the first couple of days tiring, and found myself thinking that everyone had exaggerated how hard it was having kids-there’s not too much for a dad to do at first (especially if you have mom-in-law helping you out-you should look into that!), but then it does in deed get hard.

But it’s totally worth it! Congratulations you two!

18. Wez Furlong - Fri, Feb 2, 2007 12:38pm

looks like my “emdash” got turned into strikethrough.
Oh well. Wez Furlong, mangling comments on blogs everywhere :)

Congratulations Ben and Liz! We just had our baby on Dec. 11th so I know what it’s like. 22 hours is a long time, I feel for you Ben, women in labor are sometimes hard to deal with. FOR GOOD REASON though ;)

I will check out the pics you post on BenandLiz when i get a moment, but congratulations and I am sorry to hear about your grandmother.

~ Peace ~

Congrats Ben and Liz! Beautify little boy you’ve got there. Too bad they don’t have Dr Seuss style books for learning PHP ;)

22. Elizabeth Naramore - Fri, Feb 2, 2007 1:58pm

YAY! Congrats to you both – that is one big baby, and all I can say is ouch! Glad to hear you are all doing great and that everyone is healthy. Let the fun begin! :)

24. Jamie and Michael - Fri, Feb 2, 2007 4:20pm

CONGRATS! Enjoy that new baby boy! I can’t believe Liz delivered a 9lb baby naturally?!?!? What was she thinking? God created drugs for a reason. I was dilated only 2 cenimeters and into labor for 6 hours and was begging for my epidural, which they gave… thankfully! but then, I’m a weenie.

Give us a call if you need anything! I would love for our babies to get together. Beth is, as of today, 9lbs 4oz. Will be three weeks old on Tuesday.

Talk to you all later,

Jamie

25. jonathan peterson - Fri, Feb 2, 2007 5:24pm

Congratulations both. Get your wife a having a baby present – a necklace or ring with Sean’s birthstone is the way to go, you’ll score beau coup points.

The best parenting tip I ever heard was “sleep when the baby sleeps”.

26. Lab2112 - Fri, Feb 2, 2007 7:20pm

Congratulations on your new baby boy, Mr. Ramsey! You must be very proud. :)

It’s been a year since I’ve had my own baby boy, and I can still remember the birth itself and holding my newborn son for the first time like it was yesterday. I can definitely relate.

27. mboerger - Fri, Feb 2, 2007 7:21pm

Congratulations from me and Caitlin! :-)

She says he is shiny :-) )

I think he is cute – now she is screaming at me ;-)

28. golden eye photographs - Fri, Feb 2, 2007 7:22pm

Congratulations! We’ll be seeing more of him I’m sure.

29. katbaro - Fri, Feb 2, 2007 7:23pm

oh he looks so sweet.

30. skullymom13 - Fri, Feb 2, 2007 7:24pm

Congratulations!! He looks grumpy to be out in the light! :D He is gorgeous!

31. James McGlinn - Fri, Feb 2, 2007 7:54pm

Congratulations Ben and Liz! All the very best.

32. Jen - Fri, Feb 2, 2007 8:39pm

He’s beautiful, but I had no doubt he would be! I’m so happy for you guys and think Lizzy is absolutely amazing for doing it all natural. Give her a hug for me and a kiss to that beautiful son of yours.

33. Rob... - Fri, Feb 2, 2007 9:24pm

I heartily second Jonathan’s comment about sleeping when the babys sleeps!

45. Rob - Sun, Feb 18, 2007 10:50pm

Hey Guys. Congragulations. I’m so happy for you two, or I guess I should say three now. Is there anything y’all need for the baby. I know when my sister had her baby they wanted a couple weeks to themselves before people started to come see him. So, whenever ya’ll feel up to it, I’d like to see the little tike. God bless, Rob.
