Hey Everybody,

It’s been a long day. Karina’s contractions started last night. Around 3:30 AM this morning they reached a point where we could get admitted to the hospital. Things were going well for a little while but then the labor stalled. And stalled. And stalled. The doctor tried to jumpstart things with Potocin but it just wasn’t happening. A little after two the decision was made to do a C-Section.

Little Ashton was born at 3:11 PM CST.

He weighs 7lbs 11oz, is 19.5″ long, and has a 14″ diameter head. With that head the C-section was a foregone conclusion but none of us knew that at the time.

We’ve had a chance to take some photos and you can see those here.

We’re going to try to get a little bit of sleep now.

We were admitted to Seton Hospital about 30 minutes ago. Karina has been having contractions non-stop for days now but they finally met the 5-1-1 rule: five minutes apart, one minute in duration, and consistent for at least an hour. Today, Baby Clussman will be parolled.
