I had a lovely lunch with Winnie, Natalie’s mom and her husband in town Tuesday. We were waiting for the news as Natalie was in the hospital being induced. Seemed so “modern” somehow. In the days before cell phones, we would be at home waiting for the house phone to ring to hear the good news.
During lunch, Natalie phoned to let us know that it was going to be at least another 12 hours. Her mother and I looked at each other. Ouch.
So we had a lovely lunch, thought and talked a lot about Natalie and the new baby then Winnie took us to the most kid friendly, excellent quality toy store near by so she could buy something for the baby.
Around 8:00 AM Wednesday, she sent a text saying he had not yet arrived. Finally, the news came: Oliver was born mid-afternoon on June 2 weighing 8 lbs. 7 ozs. He even appears to have red hair just like his daddy.
Congratulations to Natalie, Ethan and Winnie! And Oliver makes theirs a lovely family of four.
