Well folks I am now home and a new Mother. It's the middle of the night and my body thinks it's had enough sleep. Go figure, but I just thought I'd post the quick rundown of how it all happened. Sunday night around 10 I started contracting and it was painful but not so close together. By 12:30 they were 7 min apart so I woke up David and he held me for a few minutes to help me through the pain. Then we had to hurry and get up and get to the hospital because they started coming faster!! By 2am we were at the hospital and they were 2 min apart. They were hell and so painful that all I could do was cry through them. I said forget labor I want this baby out NOW!! And apparently that was enough so they wheeled my in and did the c-section. That was the surprise part. That I went into labor and went so quickly.
Now the oops part....well in my surgery they informed me that my dear JuliAnna would be needing a more masculine name. That in fact she was...is....a boy!!!!!!!!!!!!! David and I were so so shocked we actually made the doctor hold the baby up over the curtain just so we could see for ourselves. And yes my friends he is indeed a boy!! So instead of JuliAnna may we now present....Andrew David Redding. Sweet, peaceful, good, easy boy and we love him so much and are not disappointed in the least!!!!!!

Tristan LOVES holding "his baby" and thinks he is pretty cool, so long as he can still sit in Mama's lap when he wants to.
