Life in the fastlane

Last night a little after 10 o clock I got my marching orders as Ericka came downstairs and announced: we need to go to the hospital! NOW!

Less than 90 minutes later our son was born! 

After a nail biter of a car ride, we entered the hospital at 10:45 and he arrived at 11:30. 

Time waits for no one!  Afterwards, I found myself in a chair with a newborn in my lap thinking what just happened?!

We named him Johan. He is dong very well, at 6 pounds 13 ounce (3,079 grams) and 19 inches (48 cm).  Both mother and child are doing well and are expected home tomorrow.
