It's a boy!!!

Our baby boy was born this morning at 7:16 am. I went to my doctor's appointment yesterday and my doctor decided my blood pressure was too high and it was time for this baby to be born. We had 2 hours to go home and get ready and be back at the hospital. I was induced around 10:30 pm. I ended up having an emergency c section because the baby was posterior, his hand was coming first, and his heart rate kept dropping with each contraction. We haven't decided on a name yet, but hopefully we will soon. We love him so much already and we're so glad he's part of our family.
All ready for the c-section.
Scared to death!
His right arm that was trying to come out first was all swollen and bruised.
Getting some oxygen.
On the scale - 5 lbs 13 oz, 20 inches long
First sponge bath.
Proud daddy with his first son.
The first time Kallie saw her little brother.
She wasn't so sure about him.
She's trying to decide what to think of him.
She decided she wasn't ready to hold him and pushed him away!
About 10 minutes later she decided she wanted to hold him.
The first thing she did was lean down and give him a kiss (we didn't get our camera ready fast enough).
She cried when people would try to take him away!
