Most of you have probably already read the details or seen pics from Cass's blog. However, I'll fill you in a little more and hopefully I'll post some more pictures tomorrow.
We have finally officially decided on the name. We went with Rex McKay Heaton. He is SO cute, and that's official as well. He's been sleeping with all his limbs completely extended outward. I think he's taking advantage of finally having some space.
Labor was pretty bad, but it's all over and it was well worth it. Jeff was so helpful and wonderful through the whole thing and it's so fun to see him as a daddy now. He's great.
Rex has pneumonia, so they've kept him in the nursery the whole time. We go there to visit him and only grandparents are allowed in with us. We actually got to hold him today, which felt so great. He'll probably have to stay in the hospital a few extra days, even though I'll be discharged tomorrow. He's hanging in there and looking better and better everytime we see him.
So, that's the update. I'll post pictures tomorrow. Thanks everyone for thinking of us and praying for us. We are touched by your love and support and Rex can't wait to meet you all soon!

Congrats Heatons! So glad Rex is here and doing ok. Take care!
Thanks for finding a way to post an update and letting all of us know. I kept returning to the blogs in search of news...speculating on the situation... So, I was especially glad to find the note here tonight. Take care all of you, and know that we are thinking of you and sending hugs your way.
He may still be sick but he is still SUPER cute!!! I can't wait to hold that little guy! No more watching behind the glass (Note: I am first in line)! Love ya!
Congratulations Cheri!! He IS perfect and sooooo cute! Can't wait to see more pictures.. :)
What an adorable little guy! As I've been saying though, those are not your normal newborn baby legs. He really looks like he is older with his sweet "chubby-ness". Congratulations and enjoy every minute.
