Baby Connor

I have good news and bad news:
Good News:  My son Connor was born at 3:41 am, Monday.  He weighed 5 lbs and 3 oz.  Me and my hubby are head over heels in love with him.  :)  I labored for 24 hours, but in the end, due to my son's dipping heart rate with every contraction, I had to get a C-Section, of which the recovery sucks monkey a**.
Bad News:  Right before we were to be discharged, we were informed that my son tested positive for the cytomegalo virus, which could be life-threatening for infants.  I will be staying with my son at the hospital until, well, we know more.  If all goes well, we could be back home by tomorrow.  So far, things look good.  He passed his hearing test, his lungs are perfect, and the fact that I had an uncomplicated pregnancy and don't smoke or anything is a good sign.  They will be checking his sight and liver and everything else today, so I will be heading to the hospital soon.
