Glad to be here!  Charles Enoch Wheatley was born at 7:26pm on November 9, 2011.  He was 7 pounds and 6 ounces at birth.  His hands and feet were a little blue, but nothing too out of the ordinary, the nurses told us.  Baby Charles, as you can see by this photo, has had an agreeable disposition from the start.  He rarely cries, and when he does, he cries softly.  I've almost slept through the night a few times already (as the food source, Erica is not so lucky)

You know what they say.  A video is worth a thousand pictures.  Here is the first-ever video of Charles, just minutes after birth.  Mercifully, his mother was not included in the footage...she was getting sewn up at the time, I later found out

To reduce risk of infection, fathers-to-be may want to wear surgical masks during the birth
