The Boy is here

Hello, Burnstopia readers. As a special guest appearance, The Husband will be writing a quick post. The Boy arrived and decidedly not in the manner that The Wife had hoped. However, he is here. He is healthy. The Wife is healthy. The Husband and Wife are both exhausted. I didn't do anything last night (compared to what The Wife was doing) and it was the single hardest thing that I've done to date.

For those of you wanting the full details of the birth experience, you will have to wait until I have slept at least a whole number of hours continuously in a 48 hour period (i.e. no half hour or twenty minute naps but a full hour or two at the same time).

For a quick run down--The Boy arrived at 11:59am Saturday 12 July 2008 via C-section and weighed 8 pounds 5 ounces (we still have no idea how long). Yes, I hear you asking, "What? A C-section? I thought that The Wife..." and you are correct. That's why I said earlier he arrived in a manner that neither of us had expected nor planned for. For full details see a later post. For now, enjoy a picture of Cameron Russell on his birthday at about two hours after arrival.
