Our son was born today, and is well so far. Mom's contractions had increased, and she was hurried into the operating room. Our son was plucked out at about 3:50 PM on October 18, weighing one pound five ounces (595 grams). I was able to follow the baby upstairs the neonatal intensive care unit. I was able to see and touch him before all the tubes went in (breathing, feeding, umbilical, etc). I took a photo on my phone, but failed to press Save before closing it. We should have a photo soon, but he'll have the tubes in all directions. Mom is recovering well. She will be wheeled upstairs and see him within a couple hours. We have a name in mind but Mom wants to wait and see him before it is confirmed. We have complete confidence in the staff here at Alta Bates, and this will turn out as good as possible.
Thanks for all the words and deeds of support. I'll keep you all updated.
