Oh yeah...

The much delayed baby was indeed born! He arrived safely after many hospital delays and some induction/augmentation of labor. Another successful VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) for my sister. He weighed in at 9 pounds, 3 ounces and was a whopping 22 inches long. Wow. Mom and babe are back home and recuperating. All the kids survived four nights at my house and we have even caught up on dishes (though not sheets).

So yes, this could be the precipitating factor in my previous post. A lot of swirling in my weary brain these days around babies and birthing. So it goes. Busy, busy, busy.
