At 4:45pm on August 9, eight days after my due date, the day before my
scheduled induction and the day after Anna's birthday, John Parker
Guptill was born. He finally decided to come on his own. We arrived at
the hospital at 4:30 pm and he was born 15 minutes later at 4:45pm. It
was a harrowing ride to the hospital involving stopped freeway traffic,
detours and my water breaking just before we left, but we made it just
in time. In my defense the labor was only three hours total this time,
so we tried to get to the hospital in time.
He weighed 9lbs, 6 ozs and was 22 1/2 inches long so he is on the big and tall
side! We're so happy he's finally here and that Scott could be here for
our crazy delivery and to meet our new little guy...and that we didn't
have to have the baby stopped in traffic on the freeway. Welcome baby
John!

What a cutie! He looks like his siblings :-D I'm glad he got to come on his own terms.
He is so cute and I'm so happy he came before Scotty had to leave. I cant wait to meet him! I hope you are doing ok with everything.
