Yesterday morning (3:30ish am), Jennifer gave me a call to let me know they were on their way to the hospital. About time! I ran to the hospital, and took Bill home to finish sleeping at my house. Grace(Sarah Grace Bolton) was born at 8:30ish (don't expect more precise times from me. i wasn't there, or awake when it happened) She's a beautiful baby.. oh.. who am I kidding.. like all newborns, she was a wrinkled lil red-faced prune. beautiful nonetheless, but everyone said she looks like a red tomato.
It made me start thinking back to when Lex was born. I missed most of it. Mind you, i was there from start to finish, but i was so dazed at the events, that most of it was there and gone before i even knew what was going on.
Worse, throughout the pregnancy, I was busy stressing over work, and trying to still be responsibility-free, that i missed out on all the really cool things that happen during a pregnancy. I wish now, that i had kept a web journal bakc then, or that Jennifer had. What few details i remember are sketchy, and most are of after Lex came into the world.
One day, i hope to do it again. Maybe this time i can do it right, and enjoy it the way its supposed to be.
