We have a baby! Unfortunately things did not go quite according to plan but my DH summed it up so well in his birth announcement that I decided just to copy it:
"Oliver Roland Cox was born in Arlington, Virginia, today, August 24, 2007, at 12:41 pm to the proud parents of Paul and Julia Cox.
Like his father before him, Oliver successfully fooled everyone into thinking he was going to come out head first but, two days prior, he secretly shifted himself into a breech position.
After 15 hours of home labor, this breech problem was discovered when the midwife, feeling for Oliver's head, found his testicles instead.
The whole gang subsequently moved to a local hospital, whereupon his mother gave birth to him by CS, where the first thing that emerged happened to be Oliver's buttocks.
His father is already planning to point out to Oliver's future prom date that the first thing of Oliver's anybody touched were his balls, and the first thing anyone saw was his ass.
Young Mr. Oliver came into the world at a fighting weight of 9 lbs., and is currently listed as being 21 inches long.
Both mother and son have fallen fast asleep. And dad will soon follow."
We're all happy and healthy, he's a champion nurser, and although I'm irked to have to recover from abdominal surgery with a new baby, I'm fine with everything that happened because I know I gave it my best. Sometimes the end result is out of our hands!
I'll try to have some photos up tomorrow night or Monday... thanks for all the well wishes on my other thread

Congrats! 
on your section. Even when you know it's the only way things could have gone, it can be hard to process.
