Samuel Neil Borup was born on June 1st 2009 at 11:29 pm. He weighed 8 lbs. 1 oz. (by far our biggest baby-- check out his fat little face!), and was 21 1/4 inches long.
Everything went really well. I went to the doctor Monday morning and he stripped my membranes and scheduled an induction for 7:30 am on Tuesday, so of course I knew I'd be going into labor before then, or where would the fun be? I started having pretty frequent, hard contractions around 6:00 when we had to go pick up Mikey from work, but nothing really regular, so we went ahead and cooked dinner and ate, then I did the dishes while we waited for DaNae to come watch our kids (by then the contractions were like four minutes apart). We got into the hospital at around 8:00, and for the first time we were admitted on the first trip to the hospital! Hooray for us finally learning! It was a very easy, uneventful, epidural-numbed labor and delivery, just the way I like it.
We are very excited to have Samuel in our family. All the kids are thrilled with their new baby brother, including Truman who came in to see him at the hospital and exclaimed, "Hi, cute baby!" Now it's just a matter of me managing all four kids at once-- I don't see us going on a lot of mom-and-kids outings in the near future, but I think we'll be alright.
