Oliver Boyce Benson, born Jan 9 2009 at about 9:45 AM, nearly 25 hours after Marie's water broke Thursday morning. The last 6 hours were pretty rough on dear Mommy, but she did whatever it took to bring Oliver into the world and (almost never) doubted her ability to do so. It was emotional and beautiful. Thanks for everyone's support. Both are healthy and happy, and I need to be getting back to my wife and son. We'll be in hospital until Monday morning and will try to post some more pics after that time. (I would like to recommend against enlarging the pic w me in it, unless you want to see a seriously scary close-up of my facial hair and inside of my nostril).
Love,
Andrew, Marie, and Oliver, who says:
