At 12:33pm on October 10th, 2008, Carson Daniel Green came racing into our lives at a portly 10 pounds 1 ounce, and 22 inches long. Lachelle is the talk among all the nurses and everyone refers to her as the "1o lb mother" and hail her as the Queen of Gateway Hospital. This may be edited by the time she reads it, but it's my interpretation of what an accomplishment she completed.
Lachelle had started having strong contractions around 5:30pm on Thursday, October 9th, and by midnight that night, we were admitted to the hospital. After enduring 2 1/2 hours of contractions, Lachelle went for the epidural and really helped ease the pain (and let me get a few hours of sleep). Around 8:30am, the real pushing started and continued until Carson made it. Lachelle was a super trooper throughout the whole ordeal and loved when the anesthesiologist came to help her deal with the pain. It truly was a miracle to watch it happen and I even cut the umbilical cord! (I can be a bit squeamish with these things but I did fine).
Right now both mom and baby are doing their best to catch up on some much needed rest while nurses are coming in every 30 minutes to check on something. If someone wanted to know if they can come by and see the baby, the best time will likely be on Sunday when we are scheduled to go home. Thanks for all your prayers.

re: the "Whoa daddy, that's a cool camera!" picture.
Danny, did you photoshop that one? It's like right out of the ending scene of Zoolander! Or maybe Carson is just a prodigy--only one week in this world and already has his first "look". Either way, pretty amazing if you ask me!
