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!!

So the artichoke opened up -- bloomed -- and there at the center was a fine strong pink ... frog!
Actually, for a newborn he's pretty good-looking and if it were me, well, I'd just keep him.
Seriously, he's a beautiful baby and if you enjoy him as much "out" as you did when he was "in," his life is going to be a real trip. Sterling, 24 carat, every day a pleasure.

Grandpa Moberly is sooooooo happy. I even cried a lot with tears of joy when I saw him and was able to hold him. One slight error in the birth date. It was actually September 7th but then Daddy Danny can be forgiven.
My class I teach on Wednesdays will be shown Sterling on the overhead.
