He's Here!

Last night Kelly and I went to dinner at the home of David and Lisa Veach- David was a friend of mine at A&M. We went over at about 6 PM, had dinner at about 7 PM, and were wrapping up the evening around their dinner table at about 8:30 when Kelly got a strange look on her face. Lisa asked if their cat brushed against her leg because of the look of surprise on Kelly's face. Kelly said no, and we all realized she thought her water had broken. We loaded up in our car and Dave led us to the hospital, since I did not know how to gt there for sure and figured this was a bad time to mess up directions. We checked in at about 9 PM and by 9:30 they said Kelly was dilated between 3 and 4 cm. By about 12:30 she was at 7 cm and by about 1:15 she was fully dilated. After about a half hour of pushing little Robert joined the world at 1:58 AM on May 21. He is 7 lbs and 14 oz (much bigger than we expected at 37 weeks and 3 days along) and 20.5 inches long. He is doing great! And he has lots of hair. Kelly is on Magnesium (the same stuff that was so rough on her in California) for higher than desired blood pressure, but she feels as good as possible and the magnesium only seems to be making her a little tired, as opposed to the way it affected her in California. That is the quick update. Here are some pictures...
