Travis Alan Cameron was born at 11:15am on New Year's Eve after having been induced earlier that morning. At birth, Travis was 8 pounds, 15 ounces and 20.75 inches long. He was born at the Cherished Beginnings birth center at the St. Francis Hospital in Mooresville, IN (about a 20 minute drive from our home). Kathy had been checked into the hospital at 8pm the prior evening on the 30th for preparation. We ended up choosing to be checked out of the hospital at around 7:30pm on New Year's Day, even though we could have stayed one more night. We had a very nice room and were treated very well by all of the doctors and nurses. The birth center of 20-plus maternity rooms was practically deserted the whole time we were there, so it was very quiet, and we got a lot of attention from the 4 person nursing staff! Kathy and baby are both doing very well.
