It was an eventful day today. I’ll let Shelby fill you in on most of the story (since it’s 12:45am right now and I’m wiped), but I can give the synopsis. Shelby was actively in labor when I arrived at the hospital this morning at 7:30. At 7:45 her water broke and things started moving along. By 9:45 she was feeling the need to push (and doing so entirely without meds by the way, my wife is an amazingly strong woman). The pushing was causing Riley’s heart rate to drop down into the 70’s and 80’s though and since labor was going to take a while we couldn’t risk going on naturally. So Shelby was rushed off for an emergency C-section. About 15 min. later Riley was out and about and looking awesome! Vitals are 7lbs 13 oz, 21.5 in tall, born at 10:19am. Here are a few pictures:
Mom and baby are both resting comfortably (much more so for Shelby than she has for weeks). More news tomorrow. I’ll leave you with a bit of video:

Hey! What a beautiful little guy! Congratulations to all of you!
Please drop me an e-mail (tcross@daytonmetrolibrary.org). I realized that I don't have your new address when I tried to send flowers. I kept the e-mail about the blog, the one about the baby-to-be, and the one about "Buffy," but NOT the one with the address!
Thanks for all the pictures and video! I don't feel like I'm half a country away when I can visit online!
Love and great BIG hugs to the THREE of you! :)
