Baby Nicholas was born at 12:25 AM and weighed 8 lbs. 12 oz. He was born via an uncomplicated vaginal delivery. As is normal for any newborn, his blood sugar level was checked following his birth. It was low, which was not too surprising, as his mother is a type 1 diabetic. He was treated with extra feedings of formula, and his blood sugars were checked every two hours for the first 24 hours.
