due date

March 28.  My due date.  A day I have been waiting for since mid July.  It's finally here... and thankfully, so is bub!  He came 11 days early, thanks to my wonderful Dr.  He opted to induce me early after I was dealing with severe pain for over 2 months, and was having difficulty walking.  Turns out it is a condition they call SPD.  Incredibly awful, but in the end it was more than worth it.

Introducing Easton Donald, our little leprechaun, born on St. Patrick's Day.  Seven pounds, five ounces, twenty inches of pure sweetness. 

We are all settling into a new routine at home, as a family of four.  Gunnar absolutely adores Easton.  I don't think there has ever been a prouder big brother. 

Gunnar wants to help out with Easton any way he can.  And he loves having "baby brother" come play in his room. 

And, of course, the best part of all is that Patrick was here, and not halfway across the world, watching on Skype. 

Oh, in case you were wondering, Gunnar and I did get one last photo shoot in...

And just for fun, here's a collage of all our special photos:

Stay tuned for more brother adventures!
