Ewan Elliott Stewart
8.7 lbs, 20.5 inches
This little man waited until he was good and ready, and then got the job done as quickly as possible. Bernie, our midwife, was a little skeptical that it was really true labor, until I charged through the birth center door barefoot ready to get down to business (it was pouring rain, and COLD but no one had been able to make me put shoes on).
We checked into the birth center at 11:45 am, and Ewan made his entrance at 1:03 in a beautiful (but very purple) room with a jacuzzi tub. Baby had the cord around his neck and was a bit too purple himself (maybe some reflection off the walls) but Bernie had him untangled and screaming at the top of his healthy little lungs in no time. He spent a few minutes lounging in the nice warm water with his Mommy, and then went for some quality time with Dad and Auntie Bess while Bernie stopped some extra bleeding on Mommy.
Meanwhile, Big Brother Drake was out on the town with Aunt Emily. He went to the gym to work out, went out to breakfast with some buddies, crashed a stranger's birthday party, built a model car, and then headed over to the birth center to pick up the New Baby.
We were all home in time for dinner with Grandma Jennie, Aunt Emily, Aunt Bess and Roger.
You will be hearing from the Great Aunts Agard, but predictions (from their divinations workshop) are that he will be a hard-working go-getter who will need to be restrained. (But who will also have wealth. About time for our family, I say)
