I did not mean to tell a lie on Thursday. I promise.
Apparently, it is possible to be in labor and not realize it until your water breaks.
33 1/2 hours later though? I totally knew it was labor. I'm a quick study.
And you know what else I am?
I'm a mommy.
Welcome to the world, Little Bird. We're going to call you Christopher.
Of course there's more to the story, but I've fallen asleep no less than 18 times before finishing this little smidgen. Thank you so much for all the love, prayers, and congratulations. You all are the best.
