Elijah James Snowden

It started Thurday at 5:30 AM. By "it" I mean the contractions. At 2:00 AM this morning, they were FINALLY just five minutes apart. So we hustled everything together, woke up Sean, and drove our 40 minutes to the hospital. We were both desperate to get there, her for pain medication, me to make sure we weren't on the news. "Woman Gives Birth at Larry's BBQ" is not a headline I intended to see.

Things went well at the hospital. Sean was an angel, bribed by about 47 episodes of Bob the Builder. Elijah James Snowden was born at 8:16 AM. He weighed 6 pounds, 7 ounces and was 21 inches. He is so tiny! Everyone is doing well. And now that I've done this duty, everyone will be sleeping it off.

Love you all.
