What a stange trip it's been...

The C-Section happened but it was quite an ordeal.

The docs tried to increase the epidural amount in order to numb the entrie lower region. It didn't work.

Then they tried to do a new spinal anesthetic. They thought that had worked and I was wheeled into the room thinking they were getting ready to present my son to me but again the anesthetic didn't work and Robin was feeling some of the operation.

Despite a few tear filled objections they had to put Robin under.

Noah graced us with his presence at 4:23PM weighing a healthy 8lbs 15oz and 21.5 inches long.

Mom and baby are doing great. Robin has already breast fed and Noah seems content to be out of the womb despite his objections to appearing.

We will over the course of the next few days try to make the personal phone calls. Give us a little time as we are both very, very tired (and we have barely hit the ground yet) and Robin is extremely sore.

Thanks for everyone's well wishes and prayers.

Congratulations Robin & Waylon - sorry to hear about the ordeal but very happy everyone made it through ok. Welcome Noah - so glad you finally appeared. Take it easy on your parents at first - they went through a lot to meet you and need a bit of rest!
