Welcome to the World, Finn!

Last Friday, the day before Finn’s due date, we decided, “THIS is the weekend!” Sona didn’t want to have to go back to work on Monday, over-due and over-swollen, and our impatience had hit its limits. We were ready for our baby boy!

So, we did what any sane person would do: we tried every superstitions old wives’ tale that we found online, hoping that one of them would lead to labor.

I made the famous Scalini’s Family Restaurant labor-inducing eggplant parmesan (which did lead to immediate abdominal and back pain),  we ate papaya, we ate spicy food, we went on several long walks. Let’s just say: we were READY.

Sunday afternoon, we ended up at the hospital, and Monday, after a very long 24 hours of labor (don’t worry, that story is coming!), the love of our lives made his appearance.

On August 10, 2015, at 2:48 PM, our son was born, weighing in at 7.14 lbs and measuring 22” long. He’s perfect, and he’s OURS. And we couldn’t possibly love him more.
