Announcing Aaron Franklin Hubler

Email I sent out from the hospital
--------------------------------------------
Amy was in labor for 23 1/2 hours. I never realized that when someone says they were in labor for that length of time, it doesn't mean they were killing time for 23 hours, and had pains for 30 minutes. Instead it actually means 1410 minutes of pain, approx. 400 contractions, 17 glasses of ice water, 4 shifts of nurses and 2 shifts of Drs.. Amy did a great job through it all!

Aaron is in great health. Sleeping right now on Mommy's chest after having a nice big dinner.

We should be home Monday around noon time.
---------------------------------------------

6 hours in the house and Aaron's already running the show. We're at his beck and call. I was able to get groceries and put together dinner including some stuffed shells Nana Franklin made. Very good and very handy!

We're preparing for a long night, that's when he does his best screaming. I'm a heavy sleeper but I didn't realize how heavy until last night when he was balling his eyes out and I didn't even roll over. This can be a problem. Amy will have to get good at waking me up when she needs help.

So we're eager to get to know Aaron. So far I'd say he's got a very healthy appetite. Poor Amy. She's starting to make milk now, so with the increase in calories, maybe Aaron's appetite will change.

Lucy was intrigued, Hershey a bit less so. Lucy thinks this can only be bad news at the food dish. She's ready to lay the ground rules to Aaron if she has too.

It's great to be back home w/the baby.
