Hey Kiddo,
Well, The Plaid Prince has arrived! A brand new cousin. It’s looking like he is already going to be quite a character. Apparently he just wanted to make sure that he made a big entrance. Just a few hours after I spoke to you last actually. My understanding is that The Firecracker woke up with some “mild” contractions but she wasn’t really worried because they weren’t all that painful. So she started keeping track of them while she slowly started getting her hospital stuff together. Somewhere along the way here, The Investigator woke up and started insisting that she go to the hospital. She resisted until he got the doctor to jump on the band wagon. They got to the hospital, and she started throwing up. Then she stopped throwing up and looked at the nurse and said, ‘I need to push.’ Mind you, she was in the bathroom at this point. The nurse helped her get from the bathroom to the bed. Halfway in the nurse saw something that got her hollering for the doctor. The doctor barely had time to put gloves on before it was time to catch. If they had delayed much longer, he might have been born in the car on the way there. Craziness.
Love,
The Author
P.S. HARMony sent me a postcard from Iceland the other day. It just reads, “Elaine was right!” I shudder to think what that is in relation to.
