Welcome Roman Jason Ricks

Roman Jason Ricks
July 9, 2007 10:30 AM
7 lbs. 7 oz. 20.1/4 inches


Today the phone rang at 4:30 AM and Lorne and I awoke with a jump. It seems that Ryan and Casey were on their way to Fairfax Hospital for the impending birth of their son, Roman! Well, Lorne and I jumped out of bed after rubbing our eyes at the time and got our things together and also got Jasmine up and awake and were on our way to the hospital to wait with the rest of the family assembled there. After waiting only 5 hours (during that time we chatted, ate breakfast and watched Jasmine tear up the waiting room) Ryan came running down the hall to tell us that Roman Jason Ricks was born at 10:30 AM weighing in a 7 lbs. 7 oz. and 20.25 inches long! He was very alert when we finally got the chance to go up and see him and very cute! Ryan and Casey were so happy and glowing and it was awesome to see the "father" in Ryan kick in. We had to leave before we could hold him but we are going back at dinner time to spend our quality time with our new nephew! We love you, Roman!

Okay...it is still Roman. You wrote Ryan as his name on myspace...thought it had changed or something!

He looks like Casey in these pictures a bit. Very cute, can't wait to meet him!
