Thanks, all. Sorry I can’t respond to each individually, but I really do appreciate all of your words and congratulations. 🙂 Had to share a picture–[this one is my favorite so far](http://www.deathllama.com/Trent/Trent%20025_2_1.JPG). That was my view from my hospital bed last night. ---

Cuuuuuuuuuuuuute!! Welcome little darling! Sorry you had such a time, Ruffs, but very thrilled everything ‘came out’ OK. 😉 Take care of yourself and … beware the gas. I hear post C-section farts can be monumental. ---

What a cute little fella, c section babies don’t get their heads and faces all squished up. He looks perfect. 🙂 And very alert. Congratulations again. ---

That’s a smart one allright, the way he looks around ! I hear you about the C-section, I had one last year. But I really think being born this way is much easier and faster, at least for the baby. Wishing you a speedy and healthy recovery and a lifetime of joy with Trent! ---
