Thomas Benjamin Martel

Tommy was born at 1:56 PM on Thursday March 25, 2010 by c-section. He was 6 days late for his March 19 due date but hadn't dropped very far. Irene's water broke at 6AM and a few hours later the doctor told us that a c-section was the best way to go, since labor hadn't really started. Irene walked herself into the OR around 1:25. The entire operation only took about an hour. Here are some pics documenting Tommy's first 2 days
