It's official.
The mold has been broken.
No longer do my children come out looking the same.
We have a baby with RED hair.
I'm still in shock myself. Of course it's possible for someone in my family to have a redheaded child. My niece has red hair. My sister and brother have red hair.
I just didn't think it would be me.
Neither did Matt.
But, baby Seth has arrived! 4 weeks early too!
And we sure do love having him around.
It all began on Monday morning. EARLY Monday morning. I was sleeping nice and peacefully when all of a sudden my water broke. I've never had my water break before.
It was an interesting experience.
My contractions then began and were about 3-4 minutes apart. After talking with the doctor we headed to the hospital. The car ride was fun. Contractions were now about 2 minutes apart. It takes 30 minutes to get to the hospital.
We arrived just fine. I was admitted and shortly later baby Seth was born.
I won't bore you with gory details of my birthing story. Just know that I'm SuperWoman. Because things progressed so rapidly there wasn't any time for drugs (not that I didn't ask for them). I did this "all natural". See? I told you I'm SuperWoman.
The kids LOVE LOVE LOVE the baby. They ask to hold him all the time.
They are both very good helpers. It's very sweet.
Seth is a FANTASTIC baby! He is eating and sleeping well. I'm very lucky.
Here are his stats.

6 lbs 10 oz
20" long
It's been quite the crazy week. Not one of us was prepared for Seth to arrive this early. I didn't even have a bag packed for the hospital. My due date was August 14, so I thought I still had a few weeks to go.
It is wonderful though.
Now...off to change a diaper.

Oh, congrats Ashli! He is absolutely SO precious. And way to go all natural (even if it wasn't your choice)! Definitely something to brag about;).

I bow to you, you superwoman. All natural, wow! Congratulations, he's adorable. Love that red hair!
