change of plans ...

mary pushed hard for 2+ hours, but the baby just isn't positioned right. so we're going in for a c-section. we were hoping not to have to do this, but he's not coming out the other way. so the plan is now: emergency/unplanned c-section - i'll be in there with mary and the doctor, then the staff will check the baby out and make sure everything's okay (the meconium's still a bit of concern for them here). from there, mary will go to recovery, and i'll go up with the baby to the nursery after he's out.

thanks for all your kind thoughts everyone. we'll keep you posted.
