Hello Nathan

Nathan, William Considine was born 06 Sept 2007 at 2106. He was 7lbs 7oz and was 21.5 in long and his head was 13.4 in around. As you can see from the photos he had a full head of Brown hair just like daddy and big brown eyes. Yvette was in Labour for about 15hrs and took only 14 min to push Nathan out, all without any drugs. Unfortunately Nathan had a bit of an infection and was jaundice so he was taken down to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) where he was under UV light until yesterday but is still on antibiotics. Fortunately all the tests for major infections came back negative but he's probably going to remain in the NICU on antibiotics until Thursday. Yvette is doing well and Nathan is a fighter just like her. Everyone at the IWK has been fantastic, we couldn't have asked to be in a better place. We'd like to thank everyone for the well wishes and phone calls, hopefully you'll all get to meet the little tough guy soon.
Alex

He's one handsome boy! Yvette, you are the poster child for an awesome labor and delivery. Glad you are in such great hands at the IWK. Babies are such tough little creatures, aren't they? Can't wait to meet him next summer! He and Palmer can trade old NICU stories. Love and best wishes to you all.
Cheri, Mark and Palmer
