We would like to announce the birth of Gregory Xander Czepiga!!! He was born on June 15th at 6:13 AM. His weight was 8 lbs and 5 oz and he was 20-1/2 inches long. Due to some complications with labor, he was delivered through a C-section. We spent a few more days in the hospital as a result. Mother and baby are doing very well. Everyone is happy and healthy. And when we get him to sleep for any appreciable length of time we will be VERY happy. 🙂

We would like to thank everyone who came to visit as well as all who called with well wishes. We would also like to thank the many doctors, nurses, et al at Greenville Memorial Hospital who helped us through the first days of parenthood. No matter how much preparation you do, it seems to catch you by surprise. We would also like to thank those friends who have been there with advice and help; and thank those of you in advance that we will probably inundate with questions. 🙂

I have placed some pictures from the hospital on the Baby Pictures page. I have pictures of the actual C-section, but will not post them. You can see them if/when you come to visit the latest addition to the Czepiga clan.

Well that’s all for now. I really should be sleeping…
