Title: I Got A Mini!
Post by: FrizzleFried on September 04, 2009, 03:56:10 pm
On Monday, August 31st, 2009 at 9:15PM I managed to pick up a Mini...

...he's all of 5lbs 10oz and 18.75 inches long.

Here are a couple of photos.  He was all of about 1 minute old!  He came home yesterday.  He was 35 weeks 5 days old at birth making him a "high risk newborn" requiring him to be delivered at a NICU (Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit) instead of the local hospital.  He was born in Boise at St. Lukes.  He's had a couple Apnea episodes so he's on an Apnea monitor for a month... other than that,  he's good to go! 

What a looker,  eh?

So, who sees this as a 1-Up....and who sees it as the boulder in Dig Dug crushing him? :lol

Only kidding. Congrats, Dad!

Great timing with the birth, you were able to go to summer camp and now you get to miss the first few weeks of highschool.

;)

Cute kid, congrats!

Sounds about right for a freshman.  I was 13 when I entered high school too.  I was also one of the youngest in my class.

13 is, like, seventh grade. That's junior high most places.

Hehe yep...Grade 1-7 is Elementary School, 8-10 Junior High, 11-12 Senior High.

Cutoff is December...so if you are born in January...you would enter High School at age 13 (having been 13 for 1/2 of the grade 7 year) in September and actually finish grade 8 at age 14...and graduate grade 12 at 18...

In the States, we don't consider Junior High to be High School.

I started 9th @ 13, but had my birthday in October.  Then I was 14.

15 for Sophomore
16 for junior
17 for senior.
