Matt and I were a little surprised that I went into labor on my own a day after my due date. It started around 4:00 in the morning and my to do list kept getting longer as every minute passed. We got Sophie off to school, put the laundry away, moped the floor, took a shower, and Matt winterized the lawn all before 8:30 am. Then it was the challenge to find a babysitter for Quincy which I had to make calls between my contractions. Got him taken care of and arrived at the hospital by 9:30am. Things went fast and easy from there. Henry is healthy and well loved by his brother and sister who couldn't meet him till we got home because of the new hospital policy.
