I'm just posting a short update now that I'm home;  I'll write the whole birth story out later.  Levi is here!  He was born on Friday Aug 13, 2004,  at  2:40 pm, after starting induction around 10 am.  He weighed 7lb 14.5 oz, and is 19.5 inches long.  He has a bit of hair, and it looks dark???  LOL  A first for me, a baby with dark hair.  His eyes look like they will also be turning dark.  Have I actually gotten a baby who will have Chris' coloring?  lol 
We just got home Saturday night,  I didn't feel like staying the extra day.  The brothers are all very happy to see him.   Troyer got to attend the birth, and his opinion was,  " Wow, that was so gross! It was *so* gross it was cool!!!"  LOL  I think he got to see more than he planned on, lol. 
I will write a longer story when I get the chance,  I'm not up to 100% yet.  :-)
 
Gretchen, Troyer, and baby Levi, just hours old
