From the O.R.

Daddy was permitted to take his camera in to the O.R. for Mommy's C-section, and got some pretty neat (In Dadddy's opinion) pictures of Darin's delvery. These were taken from above Mommy's left shoulder, looking over the surgical drapes toward her belly. Be forwarned -- they are graphic and not for the weak-stomached, so Daddy has 'hidden' the pictures for the blog. Mouse-over the placeholders to see the actual pictures...
This is the surgeon reaching in for Darin's head. This is the first Daddy could see Darin.
It's a boy (and Daddy could tell!)
At first, the surgeon though that Darin's umbilical cord had a figure eight knot in it (Rather rare, somewhat dangerous). It ended up having two true knots in it. (Very rare and even more dangerous!)
Finally, detached from Mommy, all wiped off (well, mostly), and under the incubator. Time: 5:22 am
