Well, Tammy went from being 7 cm dilated to 8 cm within an hour, but GPW4 didn’t move down as planned, so around 2:50 the decision was made to do a Caesarean section.  Tammy was rolled into the OR and prepped and I was called in when she was ready.  At 15:15 (3:15 p.m.) CDT, Glenn Paul Welch IV entered the world!  Glenn went to the Nursery with Glenn Paul while Tammy remained in the OR to be stitched up.

Around 5:45 p.m., we all met up again in the labor room, and Megan and both Tammy’s and Glenn’s family finally got to meet Glenn Paul, and Tammy got to hold him for the first time.

Needless to say, Tammy and I are exhausted, and we hope to get a good night’s sleep while Glenn Paul spends the night in the Nursery.

The photos have been updated with today’s wonderful events.

P.S.  Yes, I am thrilled that Glenn Paul was born on the 53 anniversary of the opening of Disneyland
