{Beckham came early}

Well this little guy just couldn't wait until Monday when we were "sched." to be induced, so he decided it'd be fun to start labor on Thurs. night. I started contracting right before midnight and continued on until Fri. night during dinner, I just turned to John and said "It's time". Still, in the back of my mind I wondered if I was just imagining it and thinking we were going to be sent home. Well, as soon as I was hooked up to monitors in triage they said yep your contracting and your dialated to 5, he should be here by midnight. Beckham however, had other plans. Since my water was still intact and it was the weekend, no doctor wanted to come break it and get stuck with a delivery so they let me labor until 8:33am when Beckham Thomas Ririe was brought into the world weighing in at 9lbs. 4oz. It was a tough delivery to say the least, but SOOOOOO worth it!
I realized we were stuck here by 10pm so...

what else is a girl to do? put on some wishful make-up

still nothing...

until Aug. 7th at 8:33am


9lbs. 4.1 oz. 22 in. long

  9. Oooh, yeah, plenty of him to love! Congrats! I can't wait to plant a big fat kiss on those big fat cheeks. And, by the way, it is no fair for anyone to look as hot as you just after giving birth. NO FAIR.
