Ummm... Surprise

On Easter Sunday Jesus came out of the tomb and Joshua (Josh) David Soderlund came out of the womb... Earlier than expected. We had the whole thing planned for Beth to have a C-Section on Friday 3/28, but nope. Today around 3:30pm he decided that he was ready to join the Cougars for their Sweet 16 appearance. I mean, join his family.

We weren't quite sure if Beth was feeling real labor pains or false labor pains. But her doctor told her to go to the hospital and get it checked out just in case. And sure enough, just like last time, we stayed the night. Only this time we didn't have to wait the whole night. We got to the hospital around 8pm and were in the surgery room by 11pm and had a new little boy by 11:35.

His official name is Joshua David Soderlund. We'll probably just call him Josh. He was born on 3/23/08, weighed 7lbs 8oz, and was 20" long (probably still is, actually).

Beth and Josh are both doing very well and will be spending a few days at Overlake Hospital.

Nathan's not even going to know what hit him. Poor kid. He went to bed an only child and is going to wake up with his world rocked. We were both kind of mourning the loss of him as our only child, but as a friend of ours said, "We just created his new best friend."

In the meantime, we have this little squeaky cry in our room, nurses moving in and out, and us still awake at 3am. Hopefully we can get some sleep tonight too. But honestly... who cares? Who needs sleep when you've got a new baby?

Happy Easter everyone!!!
