He weighed 8lbs and 6.5 ozs.
He was 20 1/2 inches long.
All are doing really well. I got a little queasy and had to sit down during the epidural, but managed through the delivery just fine. Matthew would have weighed more but he peed on me before the nurses officially weighed him; I think Carol deserves credit for at least 8 1/2 pounds. Carol says she is more relaxed this time and is up for some phone calls and visits (call first). -RO
Here's Carol getting ready at 5:30am to head into the hospital for delivery.
And afterwards, she still looks great!
You can see me off in the corner, in the chair I slept in for 2 days. The funny thing about being a dad during this time is that you're almost 100% invisible to the doctors and nurses, or at best an afterthought. Even your wristband has your wife's name. Rightfully so, but it's an odd feeling.
