Introducing...

We are proud to announce the arrival of

Austin Tin-yi Shek
June 29, 2009
7 lb. 4 oz
20 inches

Although we had prepared to have Austin join our family on July 5th due to a scheduled induction, his low fluid levels enabled him to come a few days early. After a morning ultrasound appointment, we were asked to report to the hospital within 1 hour! Thankfully, we have a great support system. We rushed to pack our bags, feed and dress Tyler and Dylan, call our parents, call Nicole (thank you, thank you!) to arrange for last minute babysitting, and call for Super Shuttle to pick up Grandma from the airport. We made our entrance into Labor and Delivery within 2 hours of that call.

6 hours of pitocin and 1 push later, Austin was born!

I've been checking the blog and waiting for news! Hooray! I love the photo of the boys all side-by-side. Damon always loves to do that and "compare" his babies. My 3rd has been my easiest and most mellow baby. I wish you much of the same!
