It's a Boy!

OK, we knew it was going to be a boy. But it's a cute boy! Alden McIver Glass was born at 8:32 am on March 6, 2008, weighing 5 pounds 9 ounces and measuring 18 inches. We got a call last night from Dr. Moore telling us that there was a lot of protein in Cassie's urine, and that she had consulted with Dr. Taslimi and decided that we should deliver now to avoid possible complications in the near future.

The delivery went very smoothly, although Cassie had high blood pressure afterwards and fairly severe pain and nausea. She is resting more comfortably now and is on magnesium sulfate as a precaution. She is already feeling better and should be less groggy by tomorrow, when she will hopefully feel up to talking on the phone and having visitors. Alden is doing great and trying to breastfeed, although everyone is exhausted so it might take him a while to get the hang of it.

I could go on and on about Alden's cuteness but I need to get some rest so I will just post some pictures and write more soon.
