The day has finally arrived. Christopher Patrick Cotter arrived on October 15, 2008 at 8:24pm. Sara was pushing for about 2 hours before the decision was made to begin a Cesarean to help get the little guy out. Sara headed into surgery and I followed shortly 
thereafter. After a few tense moments, I heard the most beautiful sound ever...the cries of our beautiful baby boy. 
The medical staff did their routine and got Christopher and Sara taken care of. After arriving in recovery, we learned that Christopher was 8lbs even and 20 3/4" long. He had a 14" head...which means he will be a SUPER
GENIUS! And is the main reason for the Cesarean, he got his big head stuck.We've been home for two days now and were getting settled into not having any normal sleeping hours. Thank heaven for Mimi and Grandpa being here. They leave to go back home Saturday and we can only pray that he is set into his schedule by then. He had his first doctors visit today and everything looks great. He gained back a few of the ounces 
he lost in the hospital which is awesome news since Sara decided that we were giving up on breastfeeding. He just wasn't getting enough to eat.
