super small update.

Well I really wanted an August babe and he showed up on the last possible day.
Mikhail Evann Stanli Gear
Born on August 31 2007
at 3:36 am.
9 lbs. - 12 oz. - 21 1/2 in.
He arrived 5 days late. My water broke at 12:55 am and we called our doula and started to get ready to head into the hospital, which is 45 minutes away! The contractions started coming faster and faster and on the drive to the hospital Brandon and I were getting pretty scared that I was going to have the baby on the side of the road. We got to the hospital and I was already 6 cm, only 4 to go. I jumped in the shower for a bit and then decided to get into the bath tub. So Mikhail was born a water baby!

I would have liked to have taken a lot more pictures but he arrived so quickly that we didn't have a lot of time. Our doula hopefully took a few more and I will post those as soon as I receive them.

Enjoy the pictures and I will post again as soon as I have a moment.
