Family of 4

Eleanor Monica Johnson was 9lbs 4oz, born at noon on Thursday, August 25th.  I was in labor for 23 hours- less than half the time it took with Mim, so I'm not complaining.  Also, delivery/pushing only took about 5 minutes, and that's including the time it took my doctor to run across the parking lot from his office to the hospital.  Anyway, she's lovely and so far Mim is quite taken with her, as are Mike and I. 

Well, it happened

No, no baby yet.  I'm kind of waiting to hold out until the 22nd, after my parents are home from visiting my sister and her family in Philadelphia.  We'll see.  Sometimes I want to go into labor just to have something different to do that day.

Here is what happened- Mim said "No mama, I do it." 

I've been waiting for it.  I feel lucky that she hasn't started with the big toddler independence streak earlier- I figure it's a function of being the oldest.  She didn't learn to hit or say "no!" when she was angry for a long time, either.  Here we go, then.
