Welcome, James!

7:00 pm

It has been a day of tense waiting for news from Portland.

Today around noon my daughter checked into the maternity ward and the doctors induced labor. She went into her labor in late afternoon, I believe, but then the baby came under stress and the doctors decided to do a C-section. They rushed her out of the room, leaving her husband, mother, and big sister waiting helplessly in the wings.

(later)

Sarah is awake and nursing her new little son, James, whose birth weight is 6 lbs 5 oz. Both mom and baby are fine.

Twenty-seven years, nine months, and five days ago, little Sarah Daisy was born here in San Francisco, weighing 6 lbs, 5 1/2 ounces!

First photos may arrive in an hour. I'm going to post this now.

In Japanese, I am now not only a Otosan(father) but a Ojiichan(grandpa).
