My new nephew!

Yesterday was a nutso-butso day. I had an ultrasound scheduled for 1:30 so my day was scheduled around that. Diane, my sister in law went into the hospital to be induced Monday night. She was due December 7th and really wanted to get the show on the road! They put some gel on her cervix and sent her home and told her to come back in the morning. Yesterday morning they put her on a oxytocin drip around 11 and then at noon she texted me that her water broke. After a relatively painless labour and 15 minutes of pushing, my new nephew Byrce Christophoros was born at 6:45 pm weighing 8lbs14oz.
Here's a photo!


My parents opted and I decided to stay at home for the labour and delivery to not add any pressure to Diane. Her mom and her aunt were with her for the delivery. It was very emotional for us all, knowing that Chris isn't here to hold his son. He was so looking forward to this baby. And I have to say, he is the SPITTING image of my handsome, dark Greek brother. We are so happy to have another child of his to love, even though he's not here to share in our joy. My parents have already left to go to the hospital to spend the day with Diane, Evan and Bryce and Tom, Stathis and I are heading up after school.

My ultrasound was good, got to the see the babes - they are growing and my cervix is still long at 4cm. Going to the doctor at 11 this morning for a follow up. Now, must have coffee and get going!

God Bless!!!
