New Baby

As many of you may know, and some may not, Cassie and I had our baby on Friday May 16 at 6:15AM. He is a beautiful little boy. He was 7lbs and 19 in long. His first name is Drostan but we haven't decided on his middle name.
Thus far he is a pretty quiet kid, he only wails when being picked on (wieghing, bathing, blood sugars, etc). He is kind of a cute bugger.
Mom and baby are doing fine. She looks pretty good for just having a baby doesn't she? Unfortunately, after about 16 hours of labor Cassie had not progressed enough and the baby's heart rate was slowing down with each contraction, the doctor tried to manually dilate her cervix but it didn't work so she had to have a C-section. Aside from the wicked conehead most people seem to think he looks like his dad. Oddly enough everyone also thinks he's cute, go figure.
He is just a darn cute kid. Man I do good work. Cassie too.
