The day has arrived!

I woke up at 4:00am on Friday (the 10th) morning to Sarah saying "um... I think my water just broke." She wasn't due for another 3 weeks, so we were a little doubtful (and very unprepared). We layed there for a while debating whether this was actually happening, but she soon started having some relatively serious contractions very close together. After this point our debating ended and we threw some stuff in a bag, fed the cats, and sped to the hospital. Six hours later our son, William Wittich Thompson, entered the world, weighing in at 6 pounds 7 ounces. Check out some pictures here.

Well, T-minus 3 weeks until D-Day... We've been freaking out that there are only a few weekends left to "get things done", but are feeling pretty good that the big stuff is taken care of. Visited the hospital for a tour with our birthing class group on Halloween -- and every single birthing and postpartum room was full! So we didn't see much except for the reception desk, hallway and tub room. Yes -- they have a nice big bath tub for laboring, etc. First come, first serve so watch out! :-) Here's a picture of me and my friend Jodi at the hospital -- she's due on Nov. 8th so send good vibes...

Welcome to T-Burg Thompsons

Sarah and I just signed up for this blog. She is 36 weeks pregnant and the plan is to document the arrival and early life of Baby T (name to be released soon...:-) along with the exciting adventures of Sarah, Christian, and the Twins. Stay tuned...
