They say a second child usually arrives faster than the first.  With that in mind, we decided to pop by the hospital today to try to kick things off early (albeit a few days late).  It turns out, “they” were right.  Two hours after “kicking things off” with a low dose of pitocin, we had another baby on our hands.  Julie did an amazing job, though I don’t know if she followed our nurse’s advice to “have fun with it.” (Fortunately I followed the advice and came less close to passing out with sympathy labor pains.)

Elliott Michael Wright was born at 12:31pm.  He is a happy and healthy boy, weighing 9lb 2oz and measuring 21 inches long.  Mama and baby are doing great, and big sister Annabelle already loves her little brother (though she may not realize he’s coming home with us yet).

Until next time (~2 years),
Mike, Julie, Annabelle, and Elliott
