Tommy (or Thomas Jacob) is our 4th child (yes, fourth). We have 3 beautiful little girls who are ages 8, 6, and 3. We were SHOCKED when we found out we were having a boy... we thought we only made girls! After that shock wore off the entire family (although admittedly, part of me wondered if they were wrong, despite 3 ultrasounds telling us otherwise) we looked forward to a little boy to balance out the girl-heavy house. Dad was happy to not be the only human male in the house (we do have a male dog and cat.)
Tommy was born 4 agonizing days late (anyone who has had children understands why this was agonizing). After a long labor (which ended in a surprise c-section), Tommy entered the world at a whopping 10 pounds 15 ounces and was 22 inches long. All was well and we brought Tommy home on a Wednesday to our crazy house- we welcomed him home to our crazy house of 3 sick kids (it was February after all, I guess I should have expected that) complete with high fevers (105.1 F) and vomiting. We felt very fortunate that newborns have an incredible immune system from mom and he did not join the sick bay.
