Henry Christopher Hunt born 10-19-09

Our baby boy is born!

Henry Christopher Hunt was born October 19th, 2009 at 3:08 pm. He was 9 pounds, 4 ounces and 22 inches long.

We checked into Verdugo Hills Hospital at 6:00 am and I was plugged by 7:30. Simon and I sat there and stared at each other, giggly, waiting for the little guy to be ready. My mom and sister came and spent time too. Thankfully Dad volunteered to stay at the house and watch Rosie and Lucy. The hospital has a very strict and very new "no-kids-under-the-age-of 14" law due to Swine Flu restrictions. We had to change our plans a little and luckily, my family was VERY flexible and VERY helpful! THANK YOU!

At about 2:30 pm we started the pushing process, and wouldn't you know it?! 30 minutes later, Henry was born! After making us wait for so long to see him, he was merciful in the delivery, and didn't dilly dally.

We were amazed and overwhelmed at God's goodness! Henry had a knot in his umbilical cord that was only discovered after he was out that didn't cause any complications whatsoever. But by the grace of God!

We love our Henry Hunt, now a whole 4 days old!


It's go time!
