Well, Anna beat me...she went into labor this morning and Baby Deacon arrived at 5:23 this evening. He's a little one, only 6 lbs, but healthy and beautiful. Anna is my new hero - she pushed for a whopping 45 seconds, yes, seconds! One contraction and out popped baby. What a woman!We had a whole crew of friends in the waiting room, but we didn't have to wait long. Mike stopped in Anna's room at 5:15 to say hi and she was at 10 cm and getting ready to push. A few minutes later, we decided to go down to get some dinner, assuming it would be awhile. As soon as we got out of the elevator, we heard Brahm's Lullaby (meaning a baby had just been born). We all looked at each other like, "no way", and decided we better just go back up and check. Sure enough, baby had arrived! To quote Steph, "Anna comes from behind to win it all!"
The whole thing was a good experience for Kaia to be at the hospital and see Anna and the baby there before I will be there with her sister. By the time we left, Kaia was waving and yelling, "Bye-bye, Baby Deacon".Here's just a cute picture of silly Kaia. It must be kid instinct to put on the Mr. Potato Head glasses.

you should put up a picture of Kaia's baby wearing the same diaper as Deacon to show how small he really is!
