Fashionably Late



I'm choosing to think that my new baby just likes to be fashionably late rather than stubborn. I was holding out hopes that he would decide to come early Friday morning rather than get induced out. Guess he had other plans.

When all was said and done though, the induction wasn't as fear inducing as I thought it was going to be - I even got a full night's sleep! We showed up at the hospital just before 8am, they had me hooked up to the Pitocin by 8:20am, and Hylton was born at 12:30pm. I really don't think it could have been a better experience - considering that we're still talking about labor and childbirth...

Ooooh very very cute!! He looks exactly like baby Sterling to me. But I can't remember Sterling's hair being that dark at birth? Congratulations to all five Churches!!

I have to comment on your "Still Waiting" post... too funny! Is that a Georgette Heyer book in your hand? I thought you looked beautiful, by the way.
