As far as labor & deliveries go, this one was pretty easy. I started having regular contractions (10 minutes apart) at 3:00 pm. It was during A's swimming lessons which are held in the building next to the one that K works in on campus. I gave him a call at 3:45 and he said that he was just putting away some equipment from a lab that just got out and would be right out. By 4:00 we were all headed home. We had K's parents coming that night at 6:00 to have pizza and cake for A's Birthday, but figured that we shouldn't wait that long to go to the hospital. My neighbor was nice enough to watch the kids until they got here and we headed for the hospital at about 5:00 pm. When we got there I was only dilated to 4 and kind of disappointed because I thought I would be further along. Luckily, labor progressed well and I dilated 2 cm every hour and John was born at 8:19 pm. I tried the intrathecal this time and would highly recommend it. I have never had a better delivery or recovery and feel very blessed because of that. The only thing I would have changed was missing A's party. Luckily, we had his Pirate birthday party with 10 of his friends the Saturday before so we did get a chance to celebrate with him.
The kids have all taken to John really well and wish they could hold him all the time. He is a sweet, mellow, baby and very loved.

I'm totally agree with Ash , you have a beautiful family and I love the name John I always thought about it as a name for one of my kids.

Congratulations! I've been checking on your blog every few days to see if he'd come. There was no news, then no news, then your baby countdown started going backwards and adding days! I was worried. Glad to see all is well.
He's a beautiful, perfectly formed boy. He'll love the story of the day it snowed on his birthday.
Yeah! I'm so excited for you guys. Take it easy.
