Jeremy Milo Sundberg

You may (or may not) have noticed it's been about 9 months since my last post.  Pregnancy has a way of slowing me down.  Productivity can be little to non-existent.

We've  been very anxious for this little guy to get here, but it would appear that he was more so.  He was supposed to wait at least until my mom flew in on Saturday before he made his big debut, but that wasn't in his plans.  Early Monday morning (the 21st), around 4 am, things were starting to seem like they were happening; contractions getting a little more noticeable and a little more often than usual.  I told Scott we might be having a baby in the next couple of days if this keeps up.  However, I was confident that  as soon as I got going for the day, things would stop.  That's how it goes for me.  I never seem to be lucky enough to have a baby in the day time.  It's always an all night ordeal leaving us red-eyed and beyond exhausted.  Well, like I said, Jeremy was anxious, so the contractions (although slowed initially), kept coming.  Still, I didn't think we'd be having a baby that day.  I asked Scott to take Owen to preschool on his way to work.  When it came time to pick Owen up, I asked Scott to use his lunch break to bring him home (still in denial of what was happening).  By the time Scott got here, I had decided I wanted him to take the rest of the day off.  Dealing with contractions with Weston around was proving to be interesting.  If I had to close my eyes and focus he'd say, "Don't close your eyes, Mom!!!"  At one point I was on my hands and knees (because it seemed to be giving me the most relief), and Weston comes over to dangle himself across my back saying, "Look at dis, Mom!  Look at dis!"  Then he wanted a piggy back ride...

Scott had left a project unfinished at work during his "lunch break" because he didn't know I was going to want him to stay home.  Finishing the project would mean he could be back in a little over an hour.  I told him just to go and then come right back.  He asked if I was sure.  I said yes.  Ten minutes later I changed my mind.  I called him just as he was getting to work and told him just to tell his co-workers he'd be out for the rest of the day.  He was home in flash and when he walked through the door I had changed my plan yet again; "Hurry and get bags packed for me and the boys, we've got to GO!!!"  We were out the door as fast as we could.  A sweet friend of ours offered to take our boys over night, I'm just so grateful that her house was on our way to the hospital, because we BARELY made it in time.  We walked in to the hospital at 2:00 pm and Jeremy was born at 2:29.  And I did it au naturale...no pain meds!  I can't believe it!   

Born 21 May 2012 at 2:29 pm. 7 lbs. 5 oz., 20.25 inches with brown hair and an adorable face!

Two very proud big brothers!

We're all so in love with this little guy!  He smells so delicious and I love the way he slumps over when you snuggle him.  The boys could not be happier.  They just want to look at him, and hold him, and talk to him.  It's too cute! 
Jeremy, we want you to know how very loved you are!  This family wouldn't be complete with out you!!!
