Here's the story of Ivan Michael, born Friday November 16, 2007.

It all began early Friday morning, when Lori jumped out of bed and said, "UH-OH!" I joined Lori in an excited state of confusion, as to what had just happened. A brief discussion, a call to the doctor (a shower for Me) and we were off to the hospital.

Lori got checked in and we headed back to the birthing room. We would soon find out that Ivan, not wanting to miss his first chance to see the Buckeyes beat Michigan, would be arriving sooner than the doctor expected. Despite his excited little heart missing some beats along the way, Ivan would soon appear. The doctors did a thorough check of our little guy, then handed him over to a very anxious new mommy. He was perfect!
