So yesterday my husband and I went rushing to the hospital to see the newest addition to our family! With a little twist.

My sister had a fetal assessment at 36 weeks gestation and the ultrasound technician “showed” her it was a girl. Well folks it must have been the bum that she was shown because at 5:15 yesterday afternoon, my sister had a boy and not a girl!

After some serious back labour, a failed epidural (which they tried to administer at 10 cm’s–why and how they did that blows my mind) and 10 hours later her second son, and third child came into this world. They named him Sebastian Tyrell, and I’m so biased but he’s perfect! He was so alert when we went to see him!

So now they have to take all the clothes back that are pink; my sister didn’t go too nuts with buying pink stuff until they had the ultrasound because up until a few weeks ago, they had no idea what they were having.  And while you can put blue on a girl, you cannot put pink on a boy. I’m sure this is exactly why there are less and less ultrasound technicians revealing the gender, and to their credit, things are pretty squished around in there by that time!

So while his room is not pink, there are quite a few girly things in there that will have to be put away! It was amazing to think only 4 and a half months ago I was that person looking exhausted and in pain laying in that bed, while everyone cooed over my new son. I was happy to hold him while we were there and sooth him while he cried, but man I tell you I was happy to give him back to mom and dad when we left. And because of all of Dr. Karp’s wonderful methods, I’ve been designated the baby calmer! I guess I’d better teach her quickly the 5 S’s hey?

Well everyone enjoy your weekend!
