The Fuuuuun Has Arrived!!!

Do you know how fun it is to tell people "Thursday" when they ask when you're due? It's fun. They kindof get surprised and say it back "this Thursday?" and smile with a bit of pity and a bit of excitement. Plus it's so soon that people get all impressed that you are up and moving around. I like impressing people.

Do you know how much MORE fun it is to tell people "Thursday" and then have the baby on Monday morning instead? Way.

That's right, Little John arrived this morning. Healthy and strong and significantly chunkier than his older brother was.

At 2 this morning I started having contractions pretty close together which kinda had Josh wondering if it was time. I was trying to be tough and not panic. At 2:45 I called the hospital to see how long I had to have "regular" contractions before they counted as "regular". As I was about to hang up with the nurse my water broke and the decision was made. We were going to the hospital now.

We checked in at 4am and at 9:16 this morning Little John was here. 7 lb 10 ounces, 20 inches long and is perfect in every possible way. He's beautiful.

He is perfect in every way and looks so much like Tommy (the glow-worm version) that I'm confident we won't be able to tell whose baby pictures are whose.

The labor was completely different from Tommy's, but that's a (long) story for another day.

I'm busy loving on my little one.
