Here he is at the hospital - only a few hours old. As you can see, he's a little red and jaundiced. That is from arriving 5 weeks early. Luckily, he was no small guy for only making it 35 weeks in utero - he popped out at 6 pounds, 5 ounces and 19 inches long! Too bad we had to use the bili-blanket to get rid of the jaundice for the first week. :(

Not to say he wasn't small...just not as small as he could have been. Frankly, Catherine is a fairly pleased that he decided to come early since he promised to be around 9-10 pounds if he went the full 40 weeks! YIKES!
