For those blog readers waiting patiently for an update to this post, here it is…

Thomas William Hunt, born 7/7/06

Mom and baby are doing great. Here’s is a play by play of the birth that I sent out to family and friends:

We’d like to introduce you to our beautiful son…

Thomas William Hunt

Born on Friday, July 7th at 11:35 pm at the University of Michigan Hospital

8 lbs, 2 ounces (1.8 ounces to be exact!)

A long and healthy 22 inches with some seriously long fingers and toes.

A quick recap:

Mom standing over dad (Me) and waking him up at 5:50 am Friday morning asking if it was time for him to get up for work. Dad thinking to himself, “shouldn’t she be in bed, what’s the matter with her?” (she was up at 4:30 am having some minor contractions…)

9:30 am - Water Breakage, Phone call to dad, Speed Limit Breakage home to Howell.

Arrive at the hospital around 11:30 am, progress slowly but surely through the afternoon and evening. Some pitocin (inducer drug) here, an epidural there (those are wonderful…)

8 cm, 9 cm, 10 cm…push!

30 minutes later, we were looking at him and feeling very blessed.

We’re plenty busy here at the house (got him home at 3:00 pm today/Sunday) and are having a blast with our little guy!
