Yes, he’s here. Yes, he was TEN POUNDS. Y’all, I told you he was going to be big!
I’ll have the whole story in more detail later… It’s hard to find time to write right now because, well, let’s just say he’s a breast man.
But it went amazingly well, was totally easy, and didn’t hurt a bit. Seriously. Thank God for the epidural. My doctor was awesome and did a fabulous job. I pushed through five contractions and out he came. I think it took about 15 minutes in the end- no big rips or anything like that, thank God!
In the meantime, you can see video of our new little bruiser here. Thanks so much for all your comments- I can’t wait to read through them all. And I’ll give you all the details as soon as I possibly can.
>He is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.I can’t believe I’m crying…I don’t even fricken know you!!!But I’m still SOOOOOO happy for you that, well, I’ll cry. You have been blessed!
>Congratulations again on the new addition to your family! I can’t wait to read all about it =)And ten pounds?! Sounds like even if that eggplant didn’t work, anything in the world would have been worth trying if it would help out with that! Well done you!!!Congrats again! Take care! Enjoy your baby!
>Awesome. Glad to get to see the video too. Totally didn’t know about you and your husband being reporters and all that… I just liked your blog and have been reading for the past few months. I was expecting a little YouTube video and got something fancy. Go figure. :)Anyways, Congrats to you all and enjoy your boob man. -Briana
>Could you look any better! My goodness, I looked like I had been hit by a train after I gave birth. And Bruiser is a super cute boy. Again, Congrats! =)

>Oh, that video is so cute—what a beautiful little boy! It made me all misty to see him and then look over at my ‘former 9 pounder’ who is now 2 1/2. Sigh.
>Congrats on your new baby boy! He’s just gorgeous with all that hair. Welcome Jack!
>Wait! Don’t leave me hanging. You DID name the bruiser Benjamin, didn’t you? Benjamin Suburban Turmoil. Has a nice ring to it, huh?
>I just got to see the video (dumb work).He’s so cuuuuuuuuuuutttttteee!!
>I was a little scared when you mentioned a video. I was reasonably sure I wasn’t going to see some kind of birth video, but you never know…Baby’s cute as can be, and you look great. Really. Great. Congrats again.
>Congrats mama…he is beautiful. And to have his first close up before his first day is done? He is surely destined for stardom!
>Lindsay he is perfect! And you look so fab–i hope I look that hot after I deliver! Congratulations and enjoy!!
>Okay…not fair. You look waaaaaaay too good the day after. If you’re ever feeling down, I’ll email you my hospital pics so you can laugh at my cow-like qualities.And that boy is just perfect, girl. Wow. You two sure know how to grow them!!

>Welcome to the world, Jack! Again, congratulations to you and your family. That little man sure is precious.
>he is BEAUTIFUL! I loved how well he behaved on camera, yawning just for the world to see. And how brave you are to let yourself be taped after giving birth. I still cringe at my HOME videos…I think I would die if they had been broadcast on local news!!!!
>Beautiful baby boy. Congratulations.
>Who else would kill for Lindsey’s hair?BIG HUGS FOR BRUISER!
>He is one gorgeous (and huge) baby. Both of mine together weighed less than Jack. Can’t wait to read the whole story.
>What a handsome little (…..ok big) man! Congrats again!
>What a beautiful baby! Congratulations!And funny how you knew that he’d be big — I told my Dr.’s the same darn thing and they kept saying “oh no, you’ll have an average sized baby”. They were so wrong.Glad all went well! Happy Baby!Carrie
>Wow, 10#???!!!! Oh my….Looks like he was worth every bit. He is just beautiful. Congratulations to you and your family. Enjoy him!

>Ok- Why do you look so wonderful after giving birth??? I looked ghastly myself!Congrats!
>Damn, woman! Hats off to your splendid self! I am humbked thinking my 9lbs 8oz’er was big.Enjoy the time.
>Damn, woman! Hats off to your splendid self! I am humbked thinking my 9lbs 8oz’er was big.Enjoy the time.
>He is beautiful! Congratulations! God bless.
>Welcome, Jack! Be a good boy and sleep well for Mommy! Congratulations again!
>Congrats, Lindsay. That’s a good looking bruiser.Your baby could totally whip my baby’s ass.
>Aww, what a doll! Congratulations to you and your family, Lindsay!
>Jack! I LOVE that name, it’s so MANLY.OMG, he’s a chubby bunny! SO cute!
>Welcome to Nashville, Jack! Oh man, you must have so many cute saying/nicknames for him, Jack is such a great boy name. Now instead of checking out pregnant women to see if they’re you, I’ll be on the lookout for a woman with a giant newborn 🙂 I’m so glad to hear that you and the baby are healthy, and so unsurprised that Jack is adorable.
>Okay, my ovaries are officially aching. That yawn was precious…Congratulations on your beautiful boy.
>CONGRATULATIONS!!!10lbs?!? I had to cross my legs. I don’t think any of mine reached that weight for month after their births.
>Jack, I could tell you’d be a cutie back when I met you (in utero) at Starbucks a few weeks ago and you did not disappoint.Congratulations all around to the Turmoils, but a special squeeze to the child formerly known as Baby on her promotion to “Big Sisser.”
>Lindsey, Congratulations!!!! He is stunning! Such a beautiful baby boy, you are truly blessed with your entire family-Enjoy!C
>Congrats old blogging kimosabe! I would have said that sooner, but I’m on spring break and hadn’t done my normal blog surfing this week. Sorry I missed your happy news! Take care!
>Congratulations! He’s gorgeous! (and HUGE, but you knew that)
>What a beautiful boy! Congratulations! Wow…I’m so glad you were able to push that big boy on out. 🙂
>Oh wow, he’s gorgeous, and I LOVE the name Jack. One of my students last year was named Jack and he was all into dinosaurs… so we dubbed him Jack-a-lack-a-saurus…
>Congrats! What a beautiful little guy! I hope you are finding time to get a little rest. I know those boob guys are demanding.
>Congratulations and welcome to the 10 pounds plus club!! He is beautiful!
>Congratulations, Lindsey! 10 lbs. Holy Schmoley!! I thought The Boy was big at 9 lbs. even. By the way, if Bruiser was 10 lbs. even, get ready for endless questions like “10 pounds what? How many ounces?” And you’ll have to provide special instructions if you’re ordering birth announcements on line because most of the forms are incapabable of believing a baby could be born at an even number. Have fun with him. Boys are a blast! And they just LURVE their mamas!!
>Congrats! Thta’s a fine boy you’ve got there. 🙂
>awwww…what an adorable little fella you have there :)congrats again!
>Wow!!! Congrats!
>What a beautiful boy!! You take all the time you need to reacclimate. We’ll be right here when you come back. 🙂
>Congratulations!The baby is beautiful and you look radiant.Ten pounds and no pain. You are some woman!
>HOLY MOTHER! 10 lbs.You are a rockstar. Congrats, L!
>He is so very beautiful! Congratulations!
>Oh Happy Day! Congrats! March 14, 2007, right? Wow! So happy to hear, and so happy to hear you are both doing so well.
>He’s adorable – I love the name. Congrats to you and your family!
>He’s one big beautiful baby!Congratulations!!xoLBC
>yaaaay, Jack. wow..when I saw the waaay pregnant pic of Lindsey, I knew he was going to be a big one, but 10 pounds…WOwVery handsome,with nice hair. You looked pretty good too, Lindsey. Congrats
>He’s beautiful!!!!
>I’m going to take your usage of Jack as one of those sincerest forms of flattery things ;)(also, you can now refer to your leftover baby weight body as “the house that Jack built”. That one went over really well)You must now, as a parent of a Jack, provide us with the abligatory Jack-in-the-box photos, as well as dressing him up as a pumpkin for Halloween at least once. Congratulations! (And damn, for just having had a baby you looked really good in the video clip)
>Congrats again. He’s gorgeous.
>YEA! I can’t wait to keep reading all about Baby, Bruiser, and the rest of the family!
>Oh, he is just adorable! 10 lbs! Good LORD! Congratulations-hang in there on the nursing. You’d think the second one would be less of a shock, but they’re just not. It does get better-only takes about 40 days. . . ugh.
>Congrats! He’s a doll! Or a hunk-a-hunk of burnin’ love!
