May Day Arrival

This morning at about 3:30 Megan woke me up to tell me she was having contractions. It took me a minute to clear the cobwebs and realize the implications of her pains. We laid in bed for a little while and did some timing. Sure enough, she was having one every six to eight minutes. Most of you may know that Megan always has a C-Section and cannot do the whole labor routine due to a fibroid she had in her uterus as a teenager. So it was time to grab the bag and camera and head out the door to the hospital. As luck would have it, my mom came into town yesterday to help out with the boys, so she stayed behind.

To make a somewhat long story short, after monitoring Megan's contractions the doctor decided it was time to have this baby. He was scheduled for a 12 pm delivery today but apparently he wanted to get out a little earlier. Peter was brought into the world at 6:08 am. He was 8 pounds 8 ounces and 20 inches long.

Megan and I are both very happy. The surgery went smoothly for Megan, which was a blessing considering she was dreading it due to some problems with the last two.

I apologize for my awkward blogging, maybe I should do this more than once a year.
