Tristan Ash!
He was born at 2:15 this afternoon, healthy, and squalling, almost as loudly as Bonnie had minutes earlier. *laughs* egads what a trip that was. Natural childbirth is a hellish little invention!
When I got home, I said "Joel! Joel! You have a brother!!"
He looked at me and then held out his hand to show me, then he said, "No I dont! I have a cookie!"
Lisa had Nick of course, but she's never seen anyone else in labor. It completely freaked her out. I have to say this one shook me up more than any of the other births. Sheesh. I'm glad they're finished having babies now. I love 'em, but enough of that labor business!
When I got home, I came in here and downloaded the pictures to show the kids. They were all excited to see, and stared silently at this one, then the only one brave enough to comment was Maegan, who said, "Ooo! Mammy, he dot a buddah!" ("Oh! Mammy, he's got a booger!") She was pretty worried about that!
Big hands!
And big feet!
Congratulations Bonnie & Kelly! He's just beautiful! Thanks for letting me be there for his first breath. I'll treasure that forever and always. I love you!
