1. Started at 5 with contractions really hitting around 7.
2. Went to the hospital at 11, but didn't get checked in until 12. IT WAS PACKED.
3. Pushed for an hour. OUCH.
4. I felt his head as he was crowning (which hurt like skjflkejiow) and then actual saw him being born. It is amazing what you see when you open your eyes. It was absolutely amazing.
He is nursing like a champ. He has lost about 6 percent of his weight, but they expect children to loose between 7 and 10, so here is to hoping we don't have any troubles.
When Peanut would come see us in the hospital, it was pretty overwhelming. The rooms are way to small to contain the energy of a two year old. She was great though. She had a little bit of a hard time with us not being here, but did as well as I hoped she would (but not so well that I don't feel needed).
Last night we were eating pizza in the hospital room. Baby P started crying, so I was nursing him while we were eating. Peanut was sitting right next to me on the bed. When he was crying she said "its okay". And when he stopped crying "Baby P happy?" "You happy baby P? It's all better." he was nursing and she was kissing his head and hugging him. Poor old boy has bits of food in his hair from his sister.
When the nurses took him to the nursery to see the doctor, she was pretty upset. We had to explain to her that he was going to go see the doctor. It was time for her to leave before he got back. We took her to the nursery to see him before she left to try to calm her nerves a little.
I think she is going to be a very protective big sister.

She is going to be an awesome big sister! What a gorgeous little man you have there :)
Just give it a couple of years and she'll be beating him up regularly. It's what big sisters are for, after all.
