A new Lotus driver joins the community

After a long fight with gestational diabetes and pregnancy induced hypertension, my awesome wife gave birth to our first son Friday via emergency c-section after they tried inducing her for 12 hours.... he was just too big to fit naturally. I can't sleep, so I sit here on my Q1 while watching her sleep

8 lbs 12 ozs!



Mom and baby are doing well... It is the most amazing thing in the world holding him and feeding him!

Congratulations!

Baby will be all snuggly safe and sound and toasty-warm riding in the boot, but might have hearing problems later on if you're running a Stage II. Make sure you ask the pediatrician first.
