IT'S A BOY!!

My friend Sonja had a baby. He was 1 month early (approx.), and still 7 lbs and 10 oz. So, he was still a pretty big boy. I was happy that I missed most of the mess of the birth this time. Last time she did this I showed up shortly after the baby got here, and there was still a big mess from the birth. Yuck!

Sonja lost over 2 liters of blood during the birth, but is ok now. She was in intensive care for most of the day. She didn't get to hold her new baby till about 16 hours after he was born because of all the complications. She's doing ok now, and is in a regular room. The baby still has low blood sugar, but is otherwise just fine.

They now have 3 beautiful children. 2 girls and a boy. The boy really doesn't know what he's in for. He's got a sister 7 years older, and a sister 4 years older. If you include me in the mix, which they always do, he also has a sister who is 29 years older. Andy and Sonja tend to adopt anyone around them as spare children. Sonja is just the motherly type.

Bed time for me, today started a long time ago!
