Sterling at home

Enjoy a few new pictures.

Ladies and Gentlemen, May I Present...Sterling Rowland!!!

Sterling arrived yesterday, September 7th 2006 at 8:08am!! Our day began at about 11:00pm the 6th when I twisted and turned in bed I said to Sharon "I think Sterling is coming tonight" at about 2am. After I finally slept for 45 minutes Sharon woke me up with contractions. I started timing her at 3am and they were already 2 minutes apart. We waited for an hour thinking it was false labor. I then called the hospital and they said to take a shower and head in. After I fed Oli and picked a few tomatoes we loaded the car and headed to the hospital. We arrived at about 5:45am and the midwife checked her and admitted her, as now she had opened to 6cm. Sharon labored without pain meds until 8am and she gave one last push. I was allowed to catch Sterling who was much like a slippery fish and flopped him on her belly. It was a wonderful and beautiful thing and Sharon and I are so Happy!! I hope to see you soon when you come and visit our new addition to the family. Enjoy some pics!!
