Scott Allen was born yesterday Oct 7, which is the same birthday as his mom
9lbs and 1 ounce and 22 inches long and he already looks like a football player ;D

Monday, Oct 6 , my daughter was told her doc could not deliver her baby due to an insurance change,
she could come to two more appointments but no delivery
and the hospital she chose to give birth did not have her doc or their lists of doc who can work there
she was due on Oct.5
Monday she went to St. Luke's and they ;D admitted her, all was fine with her insurance there
she was starting labor
the funny thing was she had an appointment with the other doc on Tues and they called wanting to know why she was not there
and her husband told them she would not need to keep the appointment

they are doing blood tests on him and looking at his kidneys
but things seem OK for now
