Story of Baby Day:
The hospital called and told me to come in at 7pm to be induced. So, we all spent the day running errands, having a picnic at the Arboretum etc. 
Taking care of last minute business deals (or calling my brothers).
My mom dropped us off at the hospital and took Audrey home - I think it was the best 2 days of Audrey's life. Every time we called home there were squeals of delight going on in the background.
They started me on Pitocin around 9:30pm. I was totally comfortable all night (thanks to my epidural) but I couldn't sleep....so I had a long night of having the nurses check my vitals etc. Then once he decided he'd stalled long enough, he took about 20 minutes travel time and showed his face at 7:09am. And here he is:
Audrey met him around 2pm. She is pretty fascinated by him, but freaks out when he cries...
I think we have a hard few days ahead of us with this transition - hopefully no baby brothers will be injured during the transition period.
When we got home today, we put him in the cradle and she immediately grabbed the side and started "rocking" him....more like rattling his bones. Luckily the cradle can be stabilized so it doesn't rock or Drew would be in for quite a ride.
We feel so relieved, excited and grateful to have this baby here. Thanks for all your calls and prayers - we have the best families and friends.
It is also such a beautiful time of year....I had to include these pictures of our yard that warm my soul.
