My new nephew

I'm an aunt. . .again.
My sister had her baby yesterday morning, wow was it only yesterday. She wasn't due until October 6th, but the little guy had other plans.
Shelly called me on Saturday night, while we were at a birthday party, to tell me that she was headed to the hospital. After a frantic call to Marty (who was on his way to do a show) we set up a plan that was going to work. It might be crazy but it was going to work. The kids and I were headed to Atlanta to meet Marty's mom and Grandmother and they were going to take the kids for the night and then meet up with Marty on Sunday in Chattanooga. That plan changed slightly since I decided to come home yesterday instead of tomorrow.
I get to the hospital at about midnight and Shelly was still at 3cm and no epidural yet. At about 4:00 am or so the nurse ordered an ultrasound to check the baby's postion and it revealed that the baby had turned breech. Poor Shelly, she had labored for close to 12 hours and the baby was breech all along. They think he turned around 35 weeks. Her c-section was scheduled for 6:30 am.
I am proud to present my newest nephew, Myles born at 6:57 am. He's a tiny little thing weighting only 5 pounds 7 ounce and 18 1/4 inches long. He's adorable and everyone is in love with him already.

Oh Rob, He's so cute!!! He looks just like his mama! I know you are glad to be home after that fast trip, but what a great outcome! Let Shelly and Charlie know we're thinking of them and can't wait to meet Myles!
