Mom and baby are fine
Lorie and David are doing great. It's been tough on Lorie, she's been in a lot of pain from the operation. He's been worth everything. We're trying to get into feeding and some routine, plus letting him go to the nursery while we nap.
Getting warm and cleaned up.
In this picture David is less than 15 minutes old. I walked him to the nursery while Lorie was getting stitched back up. That disc on his chest is measuring his temperature.
7lbs. 14.5 oz, 21 inches, big fingers and Monkey toes!
In the operating room
Still in the operating room, just 2-3 minutes old. He LOVED getting poked and cleaned up.
Came out screaming
David hadn't even cleared the womb when he started howling! It was really cold in the Operating Room and he didn't like it. As a matter of fact he peed on the doctor-showing that babies are really expressive when they need to be.
Waiting
At this point Lorie was on Oxygen and just waiting it out. We couldn't keep our eyes off the baby monitor. It told us David's heart rate and when she was contracting.

Quilt from Matt
Matt in Columbus sent this quilt for the baby. AND it has robots and lightning bolts on the other side! Just right for a boy!

Waiting for baby is like...
Waiting for my wife to go into labor and deliver our first baby is like...
Imagine signing up for a mission trip to build an orphanage in Turkey and the trip coordinator can only give you an approximate time when the plane takes off. You could book your own flight but he doesn't reccomend it. You know it's a great cause, you feel called to do it, you've been reading all the handyman construction books, your passport and visas are all up to date. It's all the anticipation of a working holiday. You feel sick because he might come in the middle of the night, while you are at work or asleep when the call comes:
3 am
*RING*
(groggy) "...hello"
"Geoff, it's time"
"..huh? who...OH! TIME!"
"see you outside in 5 Minutes, buddy."
*CLICK*
And off you go!

Cow jumping over the moon
I don't know if you can tell, but the characters are painted on cardboard to give it some depth. Really cool work.
