I’m an Aunt!

I answered the cell phone under my pillow at 6:15 a.m. to learn that my sister had finally had her baby. Katie was induced yesterday at about 1 p.m. She was not progressing so they finally did a C-section this morning. Ivan John Reindl was born at 5:11 a.m. He weighed in at 8 pounds 15 ounces and was 20 inches long. Katie is probably exhausted so I haven’t gotten to speak with her yet. We will travel to Moorhead to see the little guy this weekend. I’ll post a link to pictures of Ivan as soon as they are available.

Update: I talked to Katie at 10:30 a.m. She is exhausted. They have gotten only 1 hour of sleep since the night of the 10th. Her father-in-law and his friends are visiting and her brother-in-law and sister-in-law are also visiting now. She said she hasn’t gotten to hold little Ivan much since the visitors are hogging him. I learned that Ivan has a lot of brown hair on his head.
