He’s Here!
John Theodore James was born at 6:32pm on August 29, 2008 after 40 weeks and 6 days of gestating. He weighs 7 pounds, 6 ounces and is 20.5 inches long, though Tony swears he’s 21 inches. He has a head full of hair and is a very calm and mellow little boy (well, so far). He looks just like his big sister Alexandra, they could be twins born two years apart. And the coolest part of all… he was born on Michael Jackson’s 50th birthday 
John’s (JT? Theo? What do you think?) birth was very fast. I once again had a natural water birth (though we barely made it into the tub) at the Allen Birthing Center. And yes, that is the same tub Alexandra was born in. Once again, I didn’t get to birth in the big tub. As Tony and I have retold the story a few times now, it sounds like something you’d see on TV or in a movie. Just as I did with Alexandra, I will write out a full birth story as soon as I can. Some possible titles of the story are “How I almost gave birth in a Dodge Truck during rush hour” or “How to go from napping on the couch to holding your baby in just one hour.”
