Krystalin Lucyle Slade, born this morning at 11:29 AM CST. Unfortunately my wife and the baby are in separate hospitals, as it was an emergency C-section and the baby had to go into the NICU which the delivery hospital did not have. However both are recovering well. Baby is having slight breathing issues (breathing too fast), and fluctuating blood sugars (which are starting to stabilize), but is otherwise perfectly healthy. My wife had a massive spike in blood pressure before delivery, but has been fine since other than the expected pain.
Congrats! I hope she and your wife are reunited soon. It must be hard having the two in separate hospitals. I wonder what her first class will be? ;) Good Luck.
CONGRATULATIONS!!
I was a c section too as well as a premie.
Congratulations =)

Explains why your Whedon gland is stunted.
Congratulations to the proud parents.
Congratulations!
Heh. Welcome!
But seriously, congrats. ;P
Congrats. Hope they are united soon too.
Conga rats!
Thanks all for the congratulations. Krystalin is making great strides, as is the wife. The baby is completely breathing on her own, and is alternating bottle feeding and being fed through a tube. There is a good chance that she will be transferred into a normal crib tomorrow. Chandra (my wife), made it down here Thursday night, and is in less pain every day.
Now is the bad news. While we are all extremely happy and excited about our new family member, it has put a great financial burden on us. We have set up a fundraiser site. I hate the fact that we are having to do this, but our insurance only helps so much, same with medicaid. Other bills need to be paid, and we have just lost over half our income. If anybody could donate anything, it would be greatly appreciated.
