Eric and Lisa

This is the first chance that I've had to update things since we've been home. Our son (Ian) was born this week at 10:51 am. He was only 6 pounds and 14 ounces; however, he was 19 1/2 inches long! Ian had a rough entry into the world. His heart rate kept dropping dangerously low during labor, and the doctor was faced with deciding whether or not to do an emergency C-section. He decided to give Lisa (and Ian) the benefit of the doubt, and Lisa responded by pushing him out in only 15 minutes. Lisa went through all of this without having an epidural or any other pain medication. I now owe her 27 trips to Cold Stone Creamery. Anyhow, because of the difficult labor, they had to keep Ian in special care overnight, but he was released to us the next day. He's a happy little guy who looks a lot like his mother, but already seems to exhibit a temperment similar to his daddy. We've posted just a few of the many, many pictures that have been taken of him in the photo gallery.

Well, he's been crying a bit, so I guess I should go check his diaper. He's already blown a couple of them up today.
