First night at the hospital after our first bath.
We have an almost identical photo of Kian.
Who's this Mom?
Nice to finally meet you Spud!
Finally, after being a week overdue, Kian has a new baby brother to announce to the world! Julean Markus was born at Victoria General on Friday November 20th at 19:54, weighing 7 lbs, 9 onz (3.4 kg).
The day started with Mark and I going to the hospital in the morning for a scheduled ultrasound and Non-stress test to make sure that the baby was still doing well and had enough fluid left. We were told that he was perfectly happy and healthy and that he could stay for a while still if he wanted. Great...! I wasn't to thrilled to hear that since I was overdone with being pregnant! The nurse did ask how the first pregnancy and labour went and when she found out how fast Kian came strongly suggested that we not attempt to make the drive to the hospital ourselves but rather call an ambulance.
Friday afternoon we decided that we should go downtown to look in some art stores and get some fish and chips for dinner. It was pouring rain so we ran into Chintz and Company to get a bit of a break from the downpour. After a few minutes wandering around in the store I decided that I had had enough and sat down on a $3000 chair to wait for Mark and Kian. It's a good thing they didn't take too long or we might have been buying the chair.
We did make it home and ordered some Chinese food, but after two bites my water broke and we did in fact have to make that call for an ambulance. Kian was a little upset that mom and dad were leaving but got distracted with the ambulance and fire truck that arrived to take mommy to the hospital. I think it was a wise move to call an ambulance since Mark said to the dispatcher " Hi... my water's wife just broke". I think he was a little flustered and it was probably and good thing he wasn't driving during rush hour to the hospital.
Julean was born within an hour of arriving at the hospital with no time for any drugs. Daddy got to cut the cord this time. Everyone was doing great, happy and healthy. Kian was really happy to have mom and dad back at home a couple nights later and told us a few times that he really missed us. (I think he had a good time with Oma while we were away.)
