Things don't go the way you plan...

So we told you all that we were going to have a little girl sometime around June 9th. Well apparently the tech at Kaiser was wrong about the gender of our baby because on May 23rd at 5:25pm we had a healthy baby boy! We were all ready for our sweet little girl; Dan had finished the baby's nursery and we had her name and we were just waiting for due day. Well I had pre-eclampsia again so I was induced on May 22nd. After 20 hours of labor, two contractions and 5 pushes later we had our baby. So much excitement and crying for joy. Then the midwife adjusts the baby on my chest just enough for me to see and suddenly stop crying and shout out, "Is that a boy?". Why yes, that is a boy and of course the second thing out of my mouth was, "Great, we are screwed, we don't have a name!" The story of my son's birth! :-) He is our sweet precious miracle and surprise. Surprise because we were not at all prepared for a baby boy and miracle because after he was born we discovered there was a knot in the umbilical cord that could have tightened and cut off his lifeline at any point. So grateful for our little boy! Well it took about 24 hours but we came up with a name, David Brian! He is a great baby and his big brother takes such great care of him. So sweet. Here are some pictures of our boys!
