So much for thinking I could plan the day of my delivery. As you all know I thought for sure I would go over like I did with Parker. Yea, was I wrong. Monday morning I got up and ready for work like always, feeling great and ready to go another 10 days before I delivered. I dropped Parker off at Grandma Gimbels. Then not even an hour into my teaching, around 9:30ish, I felt a warm flow, which some of you might know what I am talking about. Anyway, I continued to teach through the morning putting the thought of it being my water breaking aside. Besides it was a gush of water and I was going to be a week late, so it couldn't be my water. After teaching the rest of the morning from my chair, I took my students to lunch, told the office I thought my water broke and gave my doctor a call. She told me to go to the hospital. Luckily, I had all my plans for the next 13 weeks ready to go for my long term sub, however I had a few things to get in order before I left. So after lunch and while my students were at PE, I did a few last minute things, while trying not to flood the hallways. Justin and I got to the hospital around 1:30pm and at 8:35pm Brooklyn Nicole was born. It was a much easier labor than with Parker. Here are a few pictures, not the greatest but I'll hopefully get some cuter ones up later. ha/ha
20 in long
A proud and excited brother
