Sweetness Here!

I got the call from Sarah on Thursday, February 21, 2008 at about lunchtime. In fact, I was eating lunch at the time with Tim McEntire at Countryside B-B-Q. "He's on the way", she said. I managed to get away around 5:00 or so. The girls would've gone with me except for a 4H Fashion Revue and 4H Entertains on Saturday that they had been preparing for for a long time. In the meantime Paul had booked me a reservation through Priceline at the Intercontinental in Buckhead ("Beam me up, Scotty") and I arrived there at about 10:00 p.m. Went to bed and got up early Friday morning and headed to Piedmont Hospital. Sarah is a L&D nurse there so you could say that she received very good treatment.



After what seemed like no time at all and an extremely "easy" delivery, Ian James Kotronis entered this world. The name was a secret until he came and I think was only nailed down that very day. No wonder they couldn't tell anyone! This precious little baby had to go to the intermediate care nursery because of some minor respiration problems followed by some equally minor jaundice problems. We got to hold him in the nursery but he wasn't able to go to his mama's room. But...he is home now and doing well and we are planning to go see him early in March.
