The Birth of a Friend

Dear Conor,

Tonight at 6:44pm your Uncle Gordon texted me to let me know that he and Auntie Ana were on the way to the hospital to bring little Gordon into the world.  Your Auntie Ana is my very best friend and we are lucky enough to both be pregnant at the same time and both bringing little boys into the world.  I do hope that you and little Gordon will be very good friends as you grow up.  Uncle Gordon and Auntie Ana are two of the select few people that I would ever feel comfortable leaving you with if I needed to go away for a few days and couldn't take you with me - so I am sure you will have a good relationship with them as well.

Little Gordon was scheduled to be born on October 17 (which is also his parents anniversary) but it appears that he had other plans. 

UPDATE (10/3/2011):

Little Gordon was born at 2:05am this morning (10/3/11).  He weighed 5 pounds 11 ounces and was 17 inches long.  I talked to Uncle Gordon this morning around 10am and both Little Gordon and Auntie Ana had just fallen sleep.  I think we will be visiting them at home this weekend instead of at the hospital - but I will wait until we talk to Auntie Ana to see what she would like.  Uncle Gordon said that Auntie Ana was a trooper and labored at home from 1:30pm to 6:30pm when they left for the hospital - she is a very strong woman and I have no doubt that she did a great job :)

Mom
