Kurt-Erik Gunnar has arrived

A wonderful miracle happened on the 18th of August. Erik was born at 23:35 on Friday night. After stopping work today we played some games...Hans and I cut the lawn...Alexander chopped down weeds...JoJo and Emilie played...and Cina laboured for a bit.

Contractions started around 1530 or so and were in the lower back. At 1730 or so she tried being in the tub since they were 4 minutes apart. About 1930 we drove down to the hospital after having a family prayer and left the kids at home whilst Rachel and Daisy came over.

We got into the room...with our on call OB...since ours is out rudely camping/running the Wind River with some scouts and proceeded to have a baby.

Things went very well and our healthy baby Erik was born.

Our regular doc, the one who is rudely with a bunch of Boy Scouts...as well as the ultra sound from 3 weeks ago predicated a baby about 8 lbs....well...look at the scales Erik is tipping and you will see he is at 9.63 lbs or 4.261 kg. He measured in at 22.5 inches or 57.0 cm.

We are pleased he is here. Cina did a great job...no epideril...no nothing....she is a true Viking...

Off to bed for this dad. We will be taking the kids to the hospital in the AM to see their new baby brother.
