It's A Boy!!!
                                            

                                                            
                       Ren Archibald Jaecks was born on January 10, 1999 at 6pm.  He weighed
                                        8 pounds 10 ounces, and is a beautiful healthy baby.  He was delivered by cesarian
                                        section after more than 24 hours of difficult labor.  Ivy and I are ecstatic but
                                        exhausted proud new parents.  He is a joy to care for, and just looking into his
                                        eyes makes it all worth it.
                                                            
                                        This is the character for Ren's name in Japanese;  it means "lotus".
