Whether it will be a December 8th or a December 9th birthday I don't yet know, but since it is late at night I thought I would post rather than wake everyone up!
Claire started labor late this afternoon and by 6pm we were all on to our various duties: Claire doing her thing, Brian fretting over filling the birthing pool, the girls running from room to room, and I finished baking the zuccini quiche for the crowd. The midwives arrived shortly after and Janek and I have the girls at home with us for "dinner and a movie" until their sibling arrives (I hope they fall asleep). Nathie is there with Claire and with Julian, who is sound asleep in Mila's crib.
All is well! I will keep you posted.
Hooray!!!! It's 3:30 in the morning and I can't sleep. I can't believe it's a boy!! So sad to not be there with everyone... just doesn't feel right.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Baby Chapman! Hope you have a name soon!
Love,

Nancy always said she was a great aunt even before she was a Great aunt. So now we're great aunts and uncles to the fourth power for all you mathematicians. Great joy to you all. Thanks for your many labors, Claire
