Ok... a few more details about this last weekend. It started off with Mom's 50th Birthday party and of course she got all 50 of the bumps she deserved.
 
Following which it appeared that the adventures for the weekend had ended. Until... Sunday Morning. Kim rolls over and tells me her stomach hurts. The proceeds to tell me every 3 or 4 minutes. So I ask her if she is sure the pain isn't contractions. Her response is that she doesn't know for sure, but that she wasn't sure contractions actually felt like this.
Needless to say we were off to the hospital. Now it is debatable how many details I should share between arriving at the hospital and when the baby was born. So if you are looking for more details you will have to talk to me in person. For the most part everything went smoothly and as far as I am concerned, which may not count for much, it went way better then what I was expecting.
Once Kim started pushing it only took about 20 minutes for the baby to be born. This part is a little crazy. At first all you see is a bit of the head and then all of a sudden the whole baby comes out and you just stop and stare and wonder how did that happen... truly amazing. There were a couple of minor complications, but they were solved right away. Judah spent a couple of hours in intensive care and then was good to come and spend the night with us.
Judah Lane Teeuwsen is a boy, in case that is not clear, was born Sunday night at 21:55 weighing 7lbs 6oz and was 20.5 inches long. Sometime soon I will post more pictures in the Pictures section, but for now...
