My head is still spinning from Saturday. Megan was amazing. She and Matt calmly knocked on our door at about 7am and Meg says just wanted you to know that my water broke and we're going to have a baby. No panic, no uncertainty, no whining. It was so funny that in the morning Amanda and Joe came to work (just home from Florida) and I asked her if she had gotten my email? (I sent such a sneaky email about how I had done my job and got the warm water hose to the basement). When she saw my email she kicks in to overdrive. She thought I was pulling one of my stunts but when I convinced her that it was for real, she got wound up. Megan and Jack were so thoughtful to choose a Saturday so all of us could be there for them. When I got home from work, I was told to keep the dogs under control and NOT stomping on the floor. They knew something was up and they were very calm and subdued.
As the afternoon moved on (I'm now at 3 Oberons), I was in the sun room watching tv with the volume adjusted upward with now more, let me say, PRONOUNCED, noises coming from below. When I only had 4 more "steps" of volume adjustment on the tv, I knew that the time was getting near. It wasn't long (Meg may not agree about the wasn't long part) that Amanda came up and said that "Jack is here!" Not only had Jack arrived, but the whole family was able to see an exhausted Momma Meg, Matt and Jack.
We're now ready for the new experience of a boy in the family! This little guy is so laid back and easy going. Meg is under orders to take it slow and easy for a few days, something I'm sure that she is not accustomed to in any way. Won't be long and we'll have Jack on an atv, Jet Ski, Teryx and tractor. I just might have to put in more trails with jumps and stuff...
Great job everyone. Mom has a permanent smile on her face.
