In The Hospital
Kim was induced on May 14, 2007, and went into full labor the next day. Evan was unable to be born naturally, so after two full hours of pushing (not including the 16 hours of contractions prior to that), Kim was wheeled into the operating room for an unplanned C-section. Evan's head was so wedged into the pelvic opening that the doctor had to struggle a bit to pry him free. Despite all of this, Evan was fine except for a large hematoma on the back of his head. Kim's recovery was unusually quick, as well.

Evan's First Road Trip
Evan was just turning a month when he took his first road trip. Kim's grandfather wasn't doing well and she really wanted to make sure he saw Evan, so we made a trip up to Cleveland on short notice. Evan did beautifully on the trip, sleeping most of the way. However, his need to stop every 3 hours or so for a feeding turned the normally 11-hour trip into a 15-plus-hour drive. It was worth it, however, because Kim's grandfather passed away only a couple of days after we returned home.
