Straight to Size 1
**Updated with a new picture**
Tracey gave birth to a 9 pounds 2 ounce Andrew Jason Crisp last night (October 4th) at 8:23pm. Andy is a healthy and beautiful boy with red hair, and Tracey is recovering well. Here is a picture of Kevin holding Andy taken from my cellphone (so it's low res):
Tracey started labor at 2am, and though she had contractions all day, she didn't start pushing until about 6pm. She pushed for a long time and did an amazing job all day, but Andrew was a little too big, so she had a c-section. The c-section went perfectly.
Kevin came out with Andy and we got to oooh and awww over him for a little bit. They started processing him for measurement, shots, and the like. The nurse weighed him, turned to Kevin, and said, "we're going to skip the newborn diapers and go straight to size 1." We thought that was very funny.
Incidentally, Andy was born on the 4th, which is the same day of the month as Tracy and Kevin's anniversary. Also, his time of birth (8:23) is the same as Betsy and mine's anniversary.
Kevin, Tracey, and Andy are at the Northfield Hospital. The contact information is Northfield Hospital, 2000 North Avenue • Northfield, MN 55057 Phone: 507-646-1000.

Congrats Steve! You're an Uncle!
You know what Andrew is don't you? He's a Valentines baby. (Most of those are born at or around Oct 5th).

Congrats to you too Dan! I bet it was a long day! 2am ro almost 9pm? Yikes!
Your sister is a trooper. Have her get all the rest she can, it's going to be a tiring next year.. or 18. Course I think she is lucky to have all the family in town.
Betsy's up to bat now Steve, time to get in some baby practice on your nephew! =)
