Zero to Newborn in under 6 hours.

Though B nearly became a midwife Thursday evening, our little Nanuk arrived safe and sound. 5 hours of hard and fast contractions, arrangements for M, and we made it to the hospital. The doctor--who was so fortunately there--promptly announced:  "9 cm!" 

What?!!!
I thought he was joking. He wasn't. 
1 hour later, Nanuk was in our arms. And there he will stay. We like him.

Congrats KJ. How lucky for Nanuk to have a superhero as an older brother. I hope was really little M's POWERS that helped mommy have such a quick delivery.

Adorable and congratulations. I especially love M as the superhero/older brother. Take it from an experienced oldest sibling, that's a role he'll love playing.
