Happy?--or sad?

Well, we had a baby. A little boy was born at 11:20 Friday evening--the third child born to this mom. I expected a quicker birth when I went over there 5+ hours ago. I played a much more active role in this birth, and found that very rewarding.
 
As we examined the baby, Sarah noticed no crease line in his feet, no testicles, and little bumps on his body. Dr. Charles-a Haitian doctor-confirmed what Rocky and Sarah suspected, neonatal syphillis. I am not sure how this will affect him developmentally. Go ahead and look it up on the web. I'm too tired. I started at 0500 Friday, and it is 0030 Saturday now.  I'm going to bed and pray till I fall asleep.
