he's here

Oscar Lawrence Updyke arrived January 29, 2009 at 3:31am, via c-section. Andrea labored for 26 hours, and pushed for 3. she really did everything she could to get him out w/o surgery, but in the end that proved to be impossible due to his impressive stature. he was 10lbs 15.1oz, but they're calling him an even 11. he was 22in.

mother and son are doing extremely well. she's up and walking and he is sleeping a lot and learning to breast feed. what a wonderful wife and baby i have been blessed with.

it was a great experience for the both of us. we feel wonderful about how things turned out, the options we were given and the decisions we made. and now, a picture or 3:

Hmm, I think proud papa is sleep deprived. Maybe you should check that birth date again? Or else Oscar is a time traveller- cool!
