Bookerdogs make perfect swordsA portrait of the woman as a 30-something mommy, and perhaps a few thoughts from her husband...Wednesday, July 07, 2004Beth CBeth C108925785685295626Elliott Edison was born at 11:51 p.m. on Tuesday, July 6. He weighed 8 pounds, 11 ounces and was 20.5 inches long.
Holy canoli! I totally was not expecting a whopper like that, especially since Auggie was only 6 pounds, 9 ounces.
Anyway, I’m feeling really quite good -- even better now that we’re home. You read that right, we’re already home. I find it impossible to get any rest in the hospital, so we got the OK from our docs to head home early, leaving only 14 hours after Elliott’s birth.
I’ll get the whole story down here at some point, but I kinda feel like I got run over by a truck at this point.
