A New Cousin!!

Sometimes I get some crazy hair brained ideas...this might be an example. Sara goes into labor on Friday night, I load up with the kids and my parents at 5:00 Saturday morning and we start driving to Atlanta. We get there Saturday night and still no baby. Oh wait, did I tell you that David and Sara don't know we are here? What was I thinking? What were we going to do jump out the bushes and yell surprise?! Well, that is kind of how it happened. The hospital had a courtyard that served as our personal waiting room and mid Sunday morning David came down and announced to my dad "buy another shot gun, it's a boy" and at this point we can't even jump out and yell because we are in shock because we were all certain she was having a girl!! Because Andrew James took his time entering this world and putting his mama through an incredibly long labor, we only got to see him through the nursery glass and I said hi to Sara for one minute..because, well she had just given birth! (and who needs an audience for that?! - again what was I thinking). We ate lunch with David and headed back to Illinois and we had made a 24 hour round trip to Atlanta in less than 48 hours, but we got to see this precious little boy and my kid's reactions - which were priceless. The next part I didn't anticipate...all of the questions surrounding the birthing process...

Thanks David and Sara for letting us crash your party, but the biggest congratulations on the new addition to your family!! He is going to need some Auntie Alison cuddles soon!!
