Where to start?
I'm proud and relieved to announce that Cheryl delivered, by swift and tidy C-Section, a 10 pound, 22 inch boy!
When the nurse said, "I think he's 10 pounds", I said, "he's big, but 10 pounds? I don't know about that... I'd say 9.5 pounds." Later on we took him over to the weighing area, and ... 10 pounds, .8 ounces. She was right on the button! 
When the specialist felt the baby's head this morning, he told Cheryl there was NO chance of her doing a natural birth, given her history. And that was FINE with us!
Everything went great, baby's perfect, beautiful. And he likes to eat! (he's definitely my son 
). Mommy's doing great too, but I had to go later in the evening to take Cyan home. She's been really cranky the last few days, all the nerves bubbling to the top.
I've uploaded pictures from Alex's CF card to my PowerBook, so I'll post a picture later. Right now, I have to call Grandma.
Here's a good one of Cyan holding the baby (we'll announce his name tomorrow (most likely). We have a name picked out pending any sudden flashes of brilliance).

Congratulations to you all! I’m very happy and excited for you!
You know that you’re really in for it now – not only the new baby,
but having to take care of a wife and another child, too! You do realize
that you are Cheryl’s total and complete slave for the next few weeks,
right?

Jim,
He really is beautiful!! Congratulations!
As for the names, Logan is nice. Also, I can’t remember if I had the
conversation with you or with Cheryl but one of you really liked
Jathaniel.
Can’t wait to hear what you pick!
Cheers!

Sorry, but I’m not wanting any name that doesn’t suit a full grown
man.

What is that supposed to mean? I know a man named Jathaniel and the
name suits him just fine. Frankly, he’s built a lot like you!

You might also want to consider ease of spelling. I’ve gone my
whole life spelling my last name, as I’m sure you have, too. It is a
relief not to have to spell ‘Ed’, too, but my sister Geralynn wasn’t so
lucky.
My kids are Mike and Dan. Totally not trendy, and totally easy to
spell.
Speaking of trendy, how long do you think the current trend of
using traditional last names as first names is going to last?

No offense, it just sounds a bit too feminine for my liking.

Interesting. It is pronounced like Daniel or Nathaniel… common male
names. I can’t think of any “feminine” names that sound remotely like
either of those. Unless you add -a (like Daniella).
By the way, I don’t particularly like the name myself, but I think I
must have shared it with Cheryl, and she liked it. I can see why you
two have had such a difficult time agreeing on a name.
