Baby Boy Is Here!

Baby boy is here!

It turns out they began inducing labor on the morning of the first, and that baby boy arrived on April 2nd in the wee hours of the morning. Seven pounds one ounce; twenty two and a half inches. If all goes well with paperwork tomorrow we could be going home with him on Sunday!

I get terrible cell reception in my classroom, so I stepped out on the playground to answer the call from the agency. Kristi saw me from her classroom window as I was getting the news. She took this picture of me standing on our iconic fire engine as I was being told: "You're a dad!"

So now with fingers crossed I breathe in and breathe out. Nothing else to do at the moment but wait and hope for the best in the next 48 hours.

May he be safe,
may he be healthy,
may he be happy,
may he live with ease.

Breathe in,
breathe out.

I hope he's getting lots and lots of cuddling and holding at the hospital. And hugs. Lots of hugs.
