Pop!

Samuel David was born today in the city of Langley. He weighed in at a whopping 8 pounds , 0 ounces, which is exactly what his big brother Stephen weighed when he was born. (Actually, we think Samuel looks a lot like his older brother.) After the doctor broke the water, Samuel pretty much popped out. Of course, that's my perspective... I'm sure Janice feels a bit different. I got to cut the ambilical cord, which I didn't get to do for Stephen.
Stephen seemed to be pretty nonchalant about having a baby brother. He spent the afternoon at a babysitter's while we were at the hospital. When he got to see his brother he even let him play with his favourite yellow car. That's a big step because not even Mommy and Daddy are allowed to play with that car!
Anyway, both mother and baby are doing well. Daddy and Stephen are a different story. (The picture of me cutting the cord has been removed because, upon a careful examination of the picture I realized there was some skin showing that shouldn't have been.)
