Thanks everyone
I wasn't in the delivery. We had the whole family standing down the hallway about 20 feet away listening for that first cry.
She had been pushing really hard for about 2 hours and then everything stopped. From what we could hear and from a couple of phone calls we overheard we figured he was stuck and they would have to do a Ceasarian. But it seems he was too far down for them to do that by that time so he had to come out the normal way.
So far only mum and dad have been able to hold him and they are so very careful Poor wee fellow.
Since babies bones are quite soft the Dr said it should heal in a couple of weeks. They also said this was common but I have never heard of it before.
On a side note the ex who is a MS again was there. Since the rule at the wedding was I should not talk to him I turned my chair around and avoided him (a nice show of reverse shunning) Seems JWs don't take too well to this. He spoke to me and asked me some questions. I can't believe how they can change the rules to suit their fancy.
Oh and my jw mother is in town and spoke to him. She wanted both my daughters phone numbers but now that she has them she hasn't called. Earlier I had been talking to my grand-daughter about the family and she asked about my mother and grandmother (who is 95 next month). She asked me if it was true that my mother didn't like her because she was a kid. I had to explain that it wasn't her because my mother doesn't know her to not like her. She just didn't like kids period. Well wouldn't you know that the ex tells me my mother is in town and asks if I have heard from her. I responded that she doesn't talk to me (This is in front of the son-in-laws whole family that know he would not talk to me because of the religion and was quite upset about it). Well my grand-daughter pipes up and says "Well the thing about my grandmother is that she doesn't like kids." You could have heard a pin drop. Then there was a distraction and the topic changed. But the ex made a hasty retreat to the other end of the hall.

Lee,
Thats the thing about all those weird shunning rules and regulations....they will come around and bite the butt of the practitioners eh! lol
He needs to be at the other end of the hall! The microphone stroker!
Anyways, you handled that very well, and kudos to your grand-daughter for calling a spade a spade.

To be a grandma is the bestest! For months after Naomi was born, the sky was bluer, the trees greener, the air was filled with sparkle.
Your birth story reminded me of my granddaughter's birth. She was a big girl too, and a few weeks overdue. My daughter was determined to do everything naturally, and the doctor followed her wishes as much as he was able. In the end, though, forceps were needed to bring Naomi in to the world. My daughter also tore from ying to yang. As they sewed her up, I could tell from the nurses' expressions, however, that I was lucky to have my daughter and granddaughter alive and healthy.
For days afterwards, my daughter wandered around the house muttering, "It's just not natural. Why wouldn't God create us to birth naturally?" I explained that, not so many generations ago, women often died in childbirth. The girls took note, and married smaller men (My son-in-law is six foot seven). I asked her to check with her husband, who had related stories of African women giving birth in the field, how many died? My daughter has changed her mind over the whole "natural" thing, and swears she would get induced before her unborn infant goes over seven pounds.
Congratulations, Lady Lee. I wish you much fun with your new grandbaby boy.
