Outnumbered 4 to 2
Natasha's sister, Jennifer, has been such a big help the past 24 hrs. She drove down to relieve Lindsay and has taken wonderful care of the kids. She brought them over twice yesterday. Dustin thought it was so cool that we had a TV in the room, Malia spent her time making pretend phone calls to all of friends, but Alana wanted to be close to, touch, kiss and hold Haven. She couldn't stand to be more than a few feet from him.
He's here!
Natasha woke me up at a little after 4 yesterday morning and said, "today is the day." Her due date wasn't for 9 more days, so we weren't completely ready. I called Harvey and just said "it's time." He sent Lindsay over (I think she got here in two minutes flat - and they live three miles away!) so she could be there when the kids woke up. After scrambling to get a few things together we rushed to the hospital at breakneck speed. Natasha got checked in while her contractions continued to be about two minutes apart. Natasha did great during labor. I could sense her pain, especially during the contractions. I think it's kind of like the time when I...um, never mind, I don't think there's anything comparable. And if I tried to compare it to something I've gone through, it would only get me into trouble :)
After 15 minutes of hard pushing, out he came at 5:52. Mother and baby are doing great.
He weighed 7 lbs. 4 oz and measured 20 inches long.
