Indulge me...

Ok, so this is getting a bit excessive but I couldn't help myself and thought since he is a week old today I could go ahead and post this. I just can't get enough of my pumpkin eater. I could kiss him all day long - and I do. It takes all of my will power not to bring his cuddly self into bed with me - but Elijah's horrible sleep habits for his first year are my motivation there.

Now, that's cool!

Found this on how about orange and just thought it was so cool. You can send messages to people using photos of buildings and things from actual images on google maps. Cool, eh? I thought about redoing my whole blog to incorporate it but then when I realized I'd have to put some effort into it - I decided just to post about it. All of my current effort is going towards producing milk.

Day Three

Since babies look so different every day I'm posting some more of little Peter...and of course I'll post some more in the days to come because I can't get enough of him.

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.
