Eidan Arrives

Eidan Lee Toppa
Born: 5:52AM
Weight: 6 lbs., 10 oz.,
Height: 20 1/2 in.

Maria’s labor didn’t last long, the delivery was fast, and - at least deliveries go - relatively easy. By 10 AM Maria was feeling great, and Eidan had no trouble figuring out the whole breast feeding thing (he was even sucking his thumb within a few minutes of being born). I just woke up from a short nap at home and now I’m heading back to the hospital. More to follow…

Ready to Pop

Maria’s beenn having false labor on and off for the past few days, and for all of last night. It’s quite maddening for her (as it can be difficult to distinguish from true labor) so hopefully it will turn into true labor soon! We spent a good part of the weekend washing baby clothes, getting the old bassinent and infant car seat out of storage and cleaned up, etc. So we’re ready!
