@sarahellenrandall meet Anderson (Andy)!!! smirking since day 1 I went into labor at 12:30am and he was out by 5:30! Basically by the time we got to the hospital and I got the epidural he was ready! The nurse said, “okay, it’s time!” and I said, “wait, WHAT?!” I was confused and delighted after such a painful and long labor and delivery with Charlie. I was laughing while pushing him out because I couldn’t believe the speed lol meeting brother! TWO BOYS! he came two weeks early 😭 7 pounds 7 ounces (same as Charlie) and my recovery has been so much better this time Charlie’s reaction (“he can’t pee”) 😂 SO excited to be your mom!!!
