Emmett Lewis Johnston

Here he is, folks. Born at 2:53am on Feb 14 - the first 2009 Valentine baby at the University Hospital.
Here's the momma, our doula with the special delivery, and the RN (aka "the catcher") in the background...








The first nap at the homestead -

We just got home this afternoon, and we'll have more of the story after we get some sleep. Hopefully, that'll happen tonight, but we shall see... Suffice it to say that around 3:00 Friday afternoon we were planning a Valentine's Day date - our last Valentine's as a two-some. By 11:30pm, we left the house. By 2:53am we were parents. Apparently, some expriences with labor are like "A River Runs Through It" - taking lots of time for plot development, twists and turns. This was more like a trailer for the latest Spiderman movie - "Will they get to the hospital on time? Nobody knows for sure..."
