So to get you caught up... I was pregnant.
Then Mitch Eugene Mitchell was born on February 6th. I was planning to celebrate my own recent birthday (turned 30 on Feb 3rd) with friends on the 6th but Mitch had his own birthday celebration planned. I woke up with some signs of labor just before 8am. In denial of actual labor I was reluctant to time the contractions. Jeff successfully convinced me to time the contractions around 10am, we called the midwife to report 3 min apart and lasting 30 seconds. By 12 noon I was telling Jeff I couldn't stand the labor at home and wanted to go to the birth center. He hurried to install the carseat base and we arrived at the birth center at 1pm . The midwife had just enough time to fill the tub for Mitch's water birth at 1:40pm. He weighed 7lbs even and was 21 inches long.
Over the last two months we've been adjusting to life with baby. Lack of sleep, dirty diapers, baby talk and all.
2 weeks
4 weeks with cousin Rachel (11 months)

We love that little guy! I can't wait to see more of his life (lots of pictures and videos and slices of life) in your future posts.
