Sunday night I learned one more reason NOT to go see Harry Potter...luckily I had gracefully bowed out of movie night with John (largely due to the ridiculous amount of money one movie ticket costs), but man am I glad I did!?

A little after 7:00 my dear friend Leslie called to let me know that she was heading to the hospital hoping to meet Baby #2! She warned me this could be a false alarm, but she wanted me to know just in case. I waited what seemed like forever to hear if they were going to get to stay. Once Leslie called to tell me it was officially baby time I couldn't stand it and hopped in the car to rush and meet that baby!

Our wonderful friends Sarah Beth and Michael were already at the hospital waiting baby's arrival when I was getting in to Birmingham. Michael was so sweet he told me to pull up to the front hospital entrance and he would go park my car for me in the deck since it was after 10:00pm.

I rushed in and was beyond thrilled that I had not yet missed the big announcement of Baby's arrival. After greeting everyone in the waiting room, I told Sarah Beth that I felt terrible that Michael might miss the announcement parking my car! As soon as I got those words out of my mouth I saw John coming down the hall heading in to the waiting room. I had just long enough to think "Sad..Michael is going to miss it!" and I heard the other entrance to the waiting room open and Michael came in JUST in time to hear

"It's a BOY!!"

7 pounds 20" and absolutely perfect.

Leslie is a rock star and makes things look WAY too easy! I think I'll just let her birth my children for me.




I love him already....he, on the other hand, may not love me so much for the outfit I gave him to come home from the hospital! I think it is precious and perfect, but his dad did not seem to agree!....Isn't he handsome!?
