Making an Entrance


Daddy claims it was all in Mummy's head from the beginning. Ms Jeanean said I was to make my debut on New Year's Eve. Mummy was horrified to think my birthday would forever be eclipsed by Christmas celebrations, but Daddy had visions of lovely tax deductions. Through all the predictions and expectations, all the signs pointing to a pre-Christmas emergence, all the guessing and hoping, Mummy kept saying she would be happy if I waited until at least January 4th. That's why Daddy is convinced Mummy set the whole thing up.

At our doctors appointment January 3rd, Ms Jeanean told Mummy that since it didnt look like I was going to leave my nice, warm apartment voluntarily, I was to be evicted. The next day. Which just happened to be January 4th-the day Mummy had been talking about for 9 months. So, we called Daddy, got a reservation for 10am at the hospital and made sure everything was ready.

We all got to the hospital on time. Mummy and Daddy watched Harry Potter 3 while everything got started and they began pumping pitocin into Mummy just before noon. I was born a short time later at 3:09pm. I was 19 1/2 inches long and 7lbs 6 & 3/4 oz and blessedly, perfectly healthy.

Please check this site every so often for updates and new photos of me as I grow.
