We've been having a great time with Saba and Savta, who arrived in the beginning of June. Yoni is having a blast and is loving all of the attention. And Saba is graciously waking up with him at 5:30am every morning. And, of course, our special news is that Sylvie has finally joined our family! Though we've been expecting her, she definitely surprised us with her expeditious arrival. Luckily, we were close to the hospital (we were traveling the day before!). I had some mild contractions starting at 10am (which I thought were the result of Mike's breakfast :) which came approximately every 15 minutes or so. They weren't very painful and I vacuumed, washed the kitchen floor, and did a load of laundry. The contractions got stronger at 1pm and my water broke at 2pm. At that point, we went to the hospital (driving through a red light) and right through the emergency room to the triage area of the L&D Ward. We arrived at the hospital at 2:20pm and Sylvie was born (almost in the hallway!) at 2:38pm!!! Mike got to cut the cord which was nice through all of the panic and commotion. The quick delivery is definitely making for an easy recovery so we are all happy. Please click on the title above for all of the pics.
