He Laugheth

Isaac was born on a rainy Seattle night at 1:25am, two hours after we arrived at Valley Medical. Though Emily planned on having an epidural, there wasn't any time. There was much weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth, with intermittent cries of "No!", "I don't want this!" (referring to going natural), and "Where is he?!" (referring to the anesthesiologist). By the time 'he' got there, Emily was already pushing and so 'he' was quickly shooed out of the room by the midwife.

There were no complications to speak of. For the last couple minutes they couldn't get a reading on the baby's heart so the nurse and midwife (we gathered later) were a little worried, but right as he was being pulled out he cried for like a second, just to let us know he was ok.

Anyway, here are some pictures.

OH MY GOSH WE HAVE TO GET TOGETHER OR I WILL ONLY WRITE ON YOUR BLOG IN ALL CAPS.

Also, your kids look amazing! And clearly Emily is amazing, for surviving that.
