Our third little man entered the world this evening at 7:40 p.m., Trini time. Everybody is happy and healthy, as the beautiful look on Han’s face in the photo above attests.
We actually spent most of the day at the birth centre after Hannah suspected that her waters broke at 8:30 a.m. this morning. However, by 3:30 p.m. nothing was really happening, so we decided to go home. Murphy’s law meant, however, that we were only home for half and hour when the waters really went. By 5:30 p.m. we were back at the birth centre and by 7:40 p.m. little Eli was with us. Hannah made very little fuss about the whole thing. She is amazing. There is simply no other word for it. Amazing. Following her lead, the little guy isn’t making much of a fuss either. He squeaked a mere three times before finding the breast and getting to work. As I write this, over an hour later, he is still sucking away in Hannah’s arms.
We don’t know his statistics yet. He’s too happy in Hannah’s arms right now to be examined. All we know is that he is perfect.
