...and then there was six....


Well, I have a new nephew!! Today, Miles Dennis Turner was born....8 pounds 5 oz. and 21 inches long SO needless to say we are all so happy!
It is a typical day when I add to my nephew gang. I get up (I have taken a shower the night before because my sisters do not know how to have a NOON baby- except for Michael who was born around 7pm on a Thursday night during Friends) and I brush my teeth, throw on some clothes and I am out the door. Steve is sleeping (better than last time when he was practically still drunk at 5 am when the twins were born) I kiss him goodbye- he says his line, "Call me when you know what it is..." it is always an after thought.
So I drive to the hospital- this time I cry, missing my dad thinking all of the stuff he has missed in the 6 years he has been gone. (I know....that was really sad. I am sorry- happy time now!!) I get there just in time to see Jess and Sam- Sam is getting on his daddy gear- the god awful blue outfit that no man should wear but they always do when a new life comes in to the world. Jess looks good I think she is saving face for Marcus who is in the best mood ever. The 2 year old has no idea this is the last time it is just him. I ask him, "Marcus, is mommy having Payton or Miles?" He says Miles so he is thinking its a boy.
We go to the family waiting room where I have been 4 times now.....they all look different. Ash shows up and we all just wait. Jess goes back there at 8:30 am and when 9:30 hits mom is pacing back and forth. She even makes us change waiting areas. Now we are in the area that we were with Ash and the twins. Mom just wants a thumbs up- I feel good about this but I really have NO idea if its a boy or a girl. Marcus is still stuck with Miles. The nurse gives mom a thumbs up from afar and mom is now ok- now we just want to know what it is!!
Steve shows up and this is the first time he gets to be there when we are waiting around. The nurse comes out and tells us that two of us can go in there. Mom is holding Marcus and if there was an old lady walking by mom would have knocked her down on her ass. We are peaking in and we hear Sam say, "Its Miles Dennis!" It is a boy!!
He is amazing. Looks just like Marcus did but BIG!! we cannot believe it. He is so cute. I cannot believe I have another nephew. I text my friends and Sarah says, "You and Steve are having twin girls" Friends are funny.
