Grant William, born at 9:06pm on June 30. 7lbs, 12.3oz and 19in long.
We arrived at the hospital at 8:45pm, after I labored at home all day. We maybe waited a little long to come in, but it worked out fine. His birth was unmedicated, because of the timing, but I would have taken literally any drug they offered (they did not offer).
He was also born in caul – his bag of waters wasn’t ruptured – which is pretty special.
He did perfectly on the apgar, and took to breastfeeding like a pro.
As with the twins, I had no tearing and needed no stitches (the moms out there know what I’m talking about), which is a very nice bonus.
He is very musical, with lots of whistles and chirps already.
Bob did an amazing job supporting me, even as I screamed in the wheelchair through the entire hospital and tried to squeeze his hand off.
We are great, and we are complete. I am looking forward to the twins meeting Grant in the morning!

[…] My little potato is a year old today. A full year ago today, he came screaming into this world (well, I did most of the screaming), shocked and concerned by the cold, dry air, the brightness, the weightfulness of all of it. But his naturally cheery personality soon asserted itself, and he found everything to his delight. […]
