This morning at 5:33 am Lauren gave birth to a darling baby boy. It's also my brother, David's birthday, and he's as pleased as punch that the birth happened today. Lauren and Baby are both well and we went to Wagga after football today to visit the new addition to our family, and brought Zeke home with us for the night to give Daniel a well-earned rest. He and Emily were at the hospital all night with Lauren, one on each side holding her hand throughout. Lauren had a completely drug-free birth, go girl, we're all proud of you!
He gorgeous. Dark hair this time I think, unlike Zeke who takes after his mother with the red hair. It's too early to tell yet who he looks like: he's still very new in this world and while we were at the hospital he slept most of the time.
Zeke still isn't sure what's going on, and it probably won't be until Lauren takes the new baby home that it dawns on him that this little fellow is here to stay. He's been hearing about his new brother for a long time, but he has no clue what a brother even is. Carly and Alex did everything for him tonight. Carly bathed him and Alex wanted to dress him. Zeke doesn't often sleep over at our house, and he was so good, going to bed with his bottle and his Elmo without a fuss. He's in a travel cot in Alex's room, so I expect Alex will be in with him quite early in the morning so I should probably be getting to bed myself. It's after midnight and it's been an eventful day.
Once again, I'm a proud and happy grandmother.
