Our little boy arrived on Tuesday October 14th at 12:29 pm! After a night of light contractions with a morning of pretty hard ones every 3 minutes, I finally called Jed out of class to go to the hospital. His entire class of 86 students all knew what was happening, and he was given a round of applause. Thanks to all Pharm D students for the emails and delicious edible bouquet.

Once admitted, Collin Riggs Foutz came to us a little more than an hour later. With no anesthetics, labor was a little rough, but thanks to the great doctors and nurses at Tuality Community Hospital, it was a success with an easy recovery.

Collin weighed 6 lb. 15 oz. and was 18 1/2 inches long. The pediatrician on staff heard a heart murmur, and speculated it was innocent, but we went to OHSU the next day for more tests. He was right and Collin is perfectly healthy.

We are all doing great. Natalie loves being a big sister and (besides being a bit sleep deprived) life is back to normal. We do appreciate the long visits from our moms (AKA Bobba, GG, and Grammy).
