OK! Most of you already knew that, but what you didn't know is that CALEB ALESSANDRO O'BRIEN was born this morning at 8am after 28 very long hours of labor. The last 8 were the hardest.
He wieghs in at 7lbs 2.5oz and a length of 19 inches. Not bad considering he was 1 to 4 weeks early (the doctors are confused on that issue).
Complications during delivery caused his whole face to be bruised. So I have a very pink baby with a very black and blue face. Swollen too, poor kid. He has my wife's nose and my monkey toes.
So instead of going to church and then to a friends pool to enjoy the nice warm beautiful winter day we had, I spent the day reading to my wife, watching the super bowl and waiting for the hard labor to start. The kid has great timing. Once it started.. all I can say is I'm glad God made me a male. Just being the supportive husband all night wore me out. My wife's pain and misery was readilly apparant all night. Luckily she is already suffering the post-partum amnesia that is so common among women.
Ehud, thanks for the early congrats. Gotta go. Have a wife and kid who are in need of some attention at the hospital.
