9 lbs 5 oz 20 inches
I was hoping to get induced on Monday November 16th, but Ian had other plans. He came on his own Saturday the 14th, as much as I tried to deny that it was happening. Happily though, it was a GREAT experience. Got to the hospital with plenty of time for an epidural, which worked awesome. I joked with the nurse that it was the best I had felt in 3 months! We got to the hospital around 9 am and he was born at 1pm. They even let Jeremy deliver him! We were all in shock when they put his chubby little self on the scale...a 9 lb baby!!! (and he was 1 week early!) He looked so huge and chunky! Even though he was so big, he was BY FAR the easiest delivery I have had.
The kids weren't able to come visit at the hospital because of all the visitor restrictions due to H1N1, and Audri had a really hard time with it. Not so much cause she missed me, but because she wanted to see her new baby. We were kind of dorky and brought the kids to the outside window and a pair of binoculars which seemed to appease them a little (and the fact that they spent most of the weekend with Grandma and Grandpa getting spoiled:)
We have had him home for almost 4 weeks now, and he is THE BEST BABY! Great eater, Great pooper, and a pretty Great sleeper-can't ask for much else! People say he looks like Jeremy, and I can't say for sure, but he definitely is a Kato--with my cheeks!

We all agree that he is a pretty good addition to our family! We love him and can't remember what it's like to not have him around!
