Baby Damon's Birth Day!

      So, here are some of the details:

2/25/13:  1 day overdue, worked 8 hrs and heard a lot of "you're still here?" and "you poor thing"
      4:30 pm:  Came home, chased Tate up and down the hallways.  Eviction notice issued.
      6:50 pm:  After supper Tate and I got down on our hands and knees to wash the floor.  Let's go!
      9:30 pm:  Running up and down the stairs.  Take no prisoners!
    11:00 pm:  Watching tv and beginning to realize that this baby might actually be listening. Hmm...
    11:20 pm:  Let's do a load of laundry, take a shower, finish packing, fold some laundry. . .
    11:58 pm:  Timing the contractions . . . for the next 2 hours . . .
2/26/13:
      2:00 am:  "First nurse? Can I come to the hospital?"  "No, wait a bit longer."
      3:30 am:  "Aaron- get up, it's time to go to the hospital!" And then Tate wakes up!
      4:00 am:  After the last snuggles with Tate as an only child (tear), we are on the road to MGMC.
      4:30 am:  Admitted to the hospital and they are not sending me home without a baby!
       . . .          IV started, epidural completed, and feeling pretty good.
      9:15 am:  Finally complete, let's start to push. . .
      9:37 am:  And now we are a family of four!  Sooo worth all the waddling, pain, pushing, and time.
                           

Right before I donned the hospital gown, so happy to finally be in labor!  @ 4:30am. . .

And right after Damon was introduced to the world 5 hrs later @ 9:37am

A lot of silly boys on my hands now
