Our Beauty has arrived!!





After waking up at about 7:30, I noticed my wife was doubled over in pain from her contractions. I had slept through them, evidently they had been going on since 4am. They had been happening about 15 min. apart since about 6am. But after two "false alarms" in the past month, we weren't in too much of a hurry to gather our things and go. But at 8am, they started getting closer together, and at 8:15 we decided to make the trip to Overlake because they were now 6 minutes apart. Luckily Adam, Amy's brother, lives across the street from us, so he was able to take care of Nolan. Nolan thought that everything was fine because he had Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on.
At 8:45 we arrived at Overlake, 8:55 her water broke, and at 9:08am on Sunday, February the 10th, 2008 we had the beautiful Claire Anna Stewart, weighing in at 7lbs 11oz and 20.25 in long.
And yes, there was no time for an epidural or IV, or anything. She was fully dilated and ready to go!!
Amy and I are parents again. We are so happy. I can't believe I have such a strong and amazing wife, I was so impressed with her strength and courage and fell in love with her all over again. The strength she displayed was inspiring...

Enjoy some of the pics. She has a full head of hair and looks a lot like Nolan did (just1.5 lbs lighter and 2 in. shorter).
