Somebodies Birthday was today

Well we got to the hospital at around 12:30pm. Mommy had a english muffin for breakfast and we had ice cream the night before. We arrived in plenty of time and were escorted to a room, were the pre-op started, Mommy was prepped and then was wheeled away to the operating room at around 2:15. I then got my scrubs on and walked the halls for a little bit, waiting for them to let me into the operating room. When I walked in, they were busy at work getting you out of mommy's tummy. I sat there giving soft touch to mommys forehead and she was singing as Danielle calls it, "The pickle song", which is a song that she enjoys from veggietales. If it doesn't have a tall its not a monkey, its an ape. Then at 2:42 they got you out and said for me to come and cut the cord. I cut it and then they brought you over to the warming bed and cleaned you off. And then the fun started.. You pee'ed! :) and all the nurses laughed, and then you pee'ed again!!, and we laughed again. and they continued to clean you off. and then you pee'ed again, and at that point i ran over to mommy and told her one more time that you had pee'ed. you were also more vocal then your sister. You cried quite a bit, After getting cleaned off we showed you to mommy, and then took you to the nursery. were you were measured, and weighed, and bathed. We waited a bit more, and then we took you to see mommy in her room. Mommy fed you and then we just admired you. I then left to go get your sister, from day care, and came back to the hospital with her. We came back and visted for a bit before I left again to take Danielle to the neighbors, because she was going to spend the night there while I spent the night with you and mommy. I came back to the hospital and spent the night. You woke up a few times on the first night. The next morning, I woke up, and went and got your sister, and took her to Day care, and then came back to see you and Mommy. You and Mommy stayed in the hospital until Thursday when you came home. Since then you've been eating great and have gained all the weight back to your birth weight. Oh yeah you weighed 7lbs 15 oz and were 19 inches long. Oh and your full name is Eric Michael Carlson, we didn't finalize your name till the night before we were going to leave.
I'll post more later..

love,
Daddy
