Previous to this week, I had four nephews and one niece. I love all those kids,
and I even got to visit my sister in law in the hospital here in
Utah when Zoey, niece number one was born.
But I have to say there is a whole different feeling
when your big sister has her own baby.
Even with her being hundreds miles away, and me not seeing her pregnant,
it was a whirlwind of emotions for me.
Due to some unanticipated complications, Megan and husband Mike
made it into the labor and delivery room seven weeks early.
I got a text Tuesday morning saying that they were in the hospital
and the baby might have to come the next day.
I immediately started freaking out. I asked every mother and pregnant lady in my office just how worried I should be.
I looked up the complications on webmd
and that freaked me out even more.
The next I heard was my mom was on an airplane and Megan was being induced. I was worried the baby's lungs wouldn't be developed enough,
but Mom said it's Megan we're worried about.
And that was the last I heard.
Until a text at 2 am. That said, Boy 12:31 am OK so far.
Until a text at 2 am. That said, Boy 12:31 am OK so far.
Then at 8 am, one said, Calvin Michael.
I assumed that was the baby's name. Mom's new to the whole texting thing. Thanks to facebook, brother in law Mike feed me
pictures and regular status updates.
That evening I called and finally talked to Megan.
No pain killers and nearly 24 hours later she had a baby.
Just after he popped out.
He'll have to stay in the NICO for a little longer just to get a bit stronger.
Daddy Mike and Calvin.
Big sister Megan and her baby.
I cried when I saw this picture.
Love that monkey already.
Congratulations Dressers.
Wow, he is such an adorable little thing! Congrats Auntie and congrats Megan and Mike! :)
