Yep. Great-grandchild #2. Meet Ezekeil James Cortez-Ross!

OK, just make it Zeke. In the photos are Zeke, ganddaughter Haleigh and my daughter Wende.

I don't have all the statics yet. They had to take Haleigh in for an emergency c-section around 8pm (Las Vegas time) last night. Zeke arrived somewhere between 8 and 8:30. Everyone is doing fine!

Got the numbers this morning:
5 lbs 9 oz. 18.5 inches.

Thanks to everyone for your comments. It's nice to have family to share these experiences with!

Gads, you forget that they come in that size. ...

Right, Jim. And, at 5lb, 9oz. he's on the low end of the "normal" range. By ultrasound, the doctor had estimated his weight before birth at 5lb., 8oz. - pretty good estimate. Even being small, they decided to induce two weeks early because Haleigh is so small they were concerned the baby would break her ribs, if left to nature's timing.

Got more information on the events of Wednesday evening. As they administered the medication to induce labor, the baby showed signs of distress. At that point, they had to perform an emergency c-section to be sure Zeke and Haleigh were OK. As you can see, they're doing fine!
