Welcome to Earth

Yesterday morning I called Jack to let him know that his little brother Victor was no longer inside mommy. At 9 pounds, he was nearly 50% larger than Jack and his delivery took only half the time. I think they call that Moore's Law of Birthing. If we have another child, I am expecting that he or she will be a 12 pound baby delivered after only 2 hours of labor and 20 minutes of intense pushing.

Niki was amazing.

When Niki gave birth to Jack, I helped coach her breathing and held one of her legs. After they took Jack away, I took a step back (out of striking distance) and told her, "I don't know if I could go through that again. That was rough!"

So this time, after they took Victor away, I leaned over and said, "Do you remember how last time I said I didn't think I could do this again? Well, I did it!"

I'm sure she's proud of me too. ;-)

Hate to burst your bubble, but labor on the third is back to the same as the first (but maybe don't tell Niki!). Love his name - Victor BRIAN. Congratulations again to my favorite son and family.

I am very proud of you, and so thrilled about this baby! As I have gotten to know Niki this year and have discovered our many amazing parallels, I have cried over your miscarriages, and now I am crying tears of joy over your baby.
