No pics yet.

No one can win with the "My baby's cuter than your baby" battle.

So I will impress you with numbers:

Born 10:53pm, March 30, 2006.
6 pounds 3 ounces
19 inches long
25 hours of labor.

Conner Lewis Richmond. I know, not a number.

Baby and Mother are both fine. Mom is doing exceptionally well, and is already walking around, arranging things, lifting Volkswagons over her head.

Conner is very pink and extremely cute. He has a lot of spikey blond hair. Came out with a mohawk. Billy Idol is not the father.

He's still got a little fluid in his lungs, so he's grunting a little while he breathes. He's on oxygen to help him out for the time being, but we're very optimistic. When he's being held by Mama, his oxygen saturation shoots up to 100% and the grunting stops, so Mom is going to be camping out in the nursery. His breathing dramatically improves just by being in physical contact with her and hearing her voice.

He smiled when Mom stroked his arm.

He's very hungry, but can't feed yet until his lungs are stronger. Until then, he's on an IV.

Thanks to everyone for the help, calls, and prayers. Pictures are forthcoming.

Now for a nap.

I am out of it for a little while and your wife delivers a baby! That should teach me.
