It's a Boy!

After 30 or so hours of labor, we had to have a c-section at 3 am this morning. It was welcome news at that hour, as the labor had really exhausted Bethany. The baby was head down, but facing the wrong way. Mitchell McAvoy Ehrlich was born at 3:13 am. He weighs 6 pounds, 15 ounces, and is 20" long. We were able to see him this morning on our way to our new room for the next two days. Our parents were also able to see him today, and his stats are improving. A catheder was inserted into his heart, to open the way for more oxygenation of blood.. When he was born, his blood was at 28 percent saturation.. with todays treatments, he is hanging around 82.
Surgery is the next big thing, and at this point, there isn't any developments to throw the normal schedule out... so 3-14 days, but probably on the shorter end of that. We'll get a picture of Mitchell up tomorrow...
