Tommys Thoughts

Its hard to believe that 5 years have past already. Happy Birthday Sean, You are so different from your older brother, I think that is what gives you your uniqueness. It was cute watching you open your presents this morning. You were so slow and neat, so different from your other 2 brothers and your father for that matter. I guess you get that from your mother. I hope you have a great day, but I know you will.

Below are my thoughts from 5 years ago!

Sean’s Thoughts: December 1999 Archives

06/05/99

Well we are home from the hospital, you did a wonderful job. I’m glad to say you are a boy, not that I wouldn’t be happy with a girl, but boys are easier in some ways. Your Mother is doing well, she called me at work on the day you were born in the morning and said that she was having harder contractions then she had been having. She was supposed to see the doctor in the afternoon, so she went to the appointment at 5:00pm and I left work to go over to Grandma K’s house. Wouldn’t you know it, it was the worst day to drive on the freeways that I have seen all year. It took me an hour and 15 mins to get home when I went into work and it only took me 25 mins to get there that day. Your mom called me and told me that the doctor had checked things out and said that she would see us at the hospital later, I guess she shook things up inside your more, because the contractions that she was having before the appointment were nothing like the ones that she was having after. So I caught up with her and your brother at Grandma K’s house and of course your mother wanted to eat dinner before we went. We made it into the hospital at about 7:30pm. She went through some labor and then they gave her some medicine and she was fine till we started pushing about 11:00pm. Mom had 3 good pushes and your head crowned out. She stopped pushing at that point and you decided that you were done and you shook your head till it was all the way out. Mom made one more push and you came out at 11:16pm, you were announced a boy and I was very happy to finally see you. You seem much smaller then your 2yr old brother. You are as light as a feather. You are doing now what you do best and that is eat and sleep. I’m going to check on you now. I will write more later.
