Welcome Aaron Joseph Helton




Aaron was born last night (4/23/08) at 11:14PM. He weighed 7lbs 8oz and measured 18.5in.

We arrived at the hospital around 10:30AM to be induced. Every time they put Traci on pitocin, Aaron's heart rate would become erratic. They tried to let her labor progress without pitocin, but it was just too slow. They tried to alternate pitocin and natural, but that didn't work either.

About 10:30 - right in the middle of the Law and Order episode Traci really wanted to watch - they decided to do a C-Section. 45 minutes later, Aaron was here!
