navygreen | Annie/Douglas update!

Craziness! I woke up suddenly in bed, and when I looked at the clock, I could NOT believe that I'd not heard something yet from

Annie or her crew. I was so worried. I'd taken the phone to bed and slept with it 2 inches from my head, so I knew I hadn't slept through a phone call either.

I called Annie's cell phone, and it rang and then went to voicemail. The time was 4:40am. I got out of bed to pee and get a drink, and then I climbed back into bed and got snuggled in the covers again.

At 4:46am, the phone rang. I jumped to life, grabbed it, and it was Annie. She was laughing, and she was saying, "We *just* got through! You called right as we were getting through!"

So little Douglas is here now! Well, except that he's not so little, actually! She pushed for three solid hours, and then the doctors ended up having to use the vacuum to get him out. Poor Annie! She was getting stitched up even as she was talking to me. And here are his stats:

Douglas Michelangelo Sorensen-Starr
9 lbs. 1 oz.
20 inches long
4:38 am
October 5, 2006

She apologized to me for the date, and we laughed. I told her I'd forgive her... THIS time. ;-) But he's here now. Let the confetti-throwing begin!
