Baby Update: I left you on a cliffhanger, didn’t I? Well, my poor sister has been on a bit of a rollercoaster ride for the past 48 hours. They doped her up with pitocin to induce labor but nothing was happening. Then her blood pressure started climbing and the baby’s heart started racing, so they took her off. The doctor checked her out though and gave them the okay to put her back on. I’m getting updates every few hours from Mom. The latest word is “She’s doing good. In active labor now. Lots of pain. Waiting on Dr. Don’t think it will be long!” Man, having a baby is hard.

Three hours later: They’re wheeling her in for a C-section. Positive thoughts would be appreciated!

Six hours later: He’s out! The little sucker is finally officially out of the womb. Penn Joseph Carbo weighed 9lbs 10oz and is 21 1/4″ long. He’s apparently covered in black hair and looks just like my sister did when she was a baby. (I always thought she looked like a monkey, but I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt until they send me a photo.)
