Happy Birth day!

My sister had her baby this morning! At 1:00am almost exactly little Nolan Allan James Hughes was born. This is my sisters first (and maybe only!) baby. I jokingly had told her she had to have the baby between 3-6 that afternoon as that was really the only time I had available. Instead she waited till the wee hours of the morning...

She had to be induced- and went to the hospital yesterday morning around 7:30. She finally had the baby this morning. I am no expert in the baby department but man, who knew it hurt so much! My sister is kind of a wuss, but we could hear her in the waiting room. Even after an epidural....

It was a long night. I at least went home from 8:30-10:30 and

got some sleep before being called back for the big event....

Did you know that Hospitals are boring.
The lights are bright. And I really, really, missed my sleep.

All for one little peek at the little baby, a gentle hug for my sister,

and to keep my dad company in the waiting room. He paced, and paced, and paced some more. It was maddening and at one point I told him to either sit down and read the twenty year old "Womans Day" magazine, or take a walk. :o)

He took a walk.....hearing my sister scream like she was almost did him in, but he survived and was all teary eyed when we were finally allowed back in to see her.

I wasn't able to take any photos of the baby. He was lacking oxygen and had to be taken to the ICU for a bit. I will have pictures to post later today! But he is cute- he has hair, and looked really good for a new born!!! (in my opinion anyway)

oh- and for some doggie content Hurley had a sleepover at my house...It was very weird to have a big dog in the house. Makes my dogs look like midgets....
