Danielle, Massimo, Teddy and I wanted to thank everyone for their well wishes today. The last 19 hours have been such a blur. It started for me at 4:00 am when Danielle woke me to tell me that she was having contractions. It was like a cup of coffee to hear that but, it was like a double-shot of espresso when we timed the contractions and found out they were only four minutes apart. An eyeopener for sure.
Our great friend Hilary dragged herself out of bed at 4:15 in the morning to come stay with Teddy while we went to the hospital and his grandparents made it down to watch him. Thank you Hil!!!
Once at the hospital things moved pretty quickly and "Max" was out in a couple of hours. Before today it was hard to imagine how I was going to love another child as much as I love my son Teddy. People say your heart grows so you can love all of your children. At 7:54 am, Danielle and I found out what that really means.
Anyway, on a lighter note, there were some funny quotes from the day that I wanted to share:
"Wow, that's a big head. Wow, those are some big shoulders. You made the right decision," said the Doctor on seeing Massimo's head and shoulders for the first time.
"That C-Section was wonderful," said Danielle as they were finishing the stitches after Massimo was born."
Thanks again for all of the congratulations and well wishes. More updates to follow. Stay tuned...
