He's here

Well, little mister decided to drop by last night.

We went to the hospital last night around 5 p.m. for DW to get assessed (she was having strong, but not consistent contractions).

5 hours later, we were looking at this:


Mommy and baby Sam are doing well. I'm heading back to the hospital now, and the grandparents will be bringing Meemette over to see her little brother for the first time this afternoon.

He weighed in at 7 lbs 13 oz. and 19.2". He's got big hands, and was born while the Raptors were playing, so I think he is obviously destined to be a professional basketball player.

Anyways, I have to run back to chaos. I''ll try to be back soon.

Congratulations on your adorable little fellow. Labor didn't seem that long, at least to me; possibly seemed longer for the proud mommy.

Oh Meemo, he's so gorgeous! I just want to hold him and inhale that heavenly new baby scent! And he does have big hands. Pianists and mathematicians have big hands too.

Congratulations to the whole Meemo family!

I'm just happy to see him so fashionably dressed from the very beginning.

Our hospital just gave them a standard issue shirt and diaper.

Shouldn't there be an update by now? It's not like you're busy or have anything better to do, right?

Congrats, Meemo!

Story about my older DD's birth: she was born during game 6 of the NBA finals between the Lakers and the Pistons. The game was almost over and all the doctors were watching. It took the nurses two calls to get a doctor to come deliver my baby daughter! He was the one who drew the short straw.
