Thursday, July 3, 2008 - Charles Robert was born at 7:48 pm EST in Parma, Ohio to Steph and Josh.  He weighed in at 6 pounds 13 ounces and was 19 inches long. 

Josh's parents got on a flight to Ohio from Austin, TX and landed about an hour and a half after his birth.  This is their first grandchild.  Lynne and Ron went up after they went home to help so they have help over a longer time.

It turns out, Charles was born with a birth defect, the popularly named "Blue Baby Syndrome" and had Open-Heart Surgery on July 10 (at 7-days old).  Charles is doing fine after the surgery.
