We Have Baby!


Cameron William Stevens was born yesterday evening at 5:20pm via C-Section. Both mom and baby are doing very well. Cameron slept through most of the night and is feeding like a champ. Mom did very well throughout the surgery and dad didn't even come close to passing out (and even cut the cord...).

We'll be in the hospital until Friday at least, so check back after that and we'll get pics and video up (we do have video of the birth, from a very stomach-friendly perspective - right where dad was sitting).

Vitals:

8lbs 6oz
21 inches long
Bald as a cue ball

Craig and Allison,

He is so, so soooooo beautiful!!! I'm so glad everything went o.k. and that you are all doing well.

Welcome to the world, baby Cameron!

Hugs and thousands of wet, sloppy kisses,

Betsy

A wee bit of heaven
drifted down from above-
A handful of happiness,
a heart full of love.

The mystery of life,
so sacred and sweet-
The giver of joy
so deep and complete.

Precious and priceless,
so lovable, too-
The world's sweetest miracle,
baby, is you.

-- Helen Steiner Rice

From Dakotah as I tucked her in tonight: "Isn't it weird how you can love someone so much even though he's only a day old, and you haven't even met him yet?"

Congratulations! I am so proud of you guys...

"Birth is a sudden opening of a window, through which you look out upon a stupendous prospect. For what has happened? A miracle. You have exchanged nothing for the possiblity of everything."

I have the baby sunscreen ready and waiting for Cameron's first trip to Southern Cal...
