He's Here!

Well the newest member of Clan Reoch is here.

Iain Giovanni was born on Saturday, January 19, 2008 at 12:18am. He weighed in at 9 pounds even and 22 inches long.

I had gone to my regular prenatal appointment on Friday, and my blood pressure was really high. Coupled with some borderline labwork for toxemia and my doctor decided it was safer to induce me right away. So off to labor and delivery I went. I managed to track Tom down at work and he hauled over. We were hoping to deliver on Friday so that Tom and Iain would have the same birthday, but we were 18 minutes late, hehe.

It was a super fast birth. Pitocin was started at 6pm, my water broke at 9:30pm, at midnight I started pushing, and at 12:18, Iain was born!
