"Mom you don't have the baby in your belly anymore! You pushed him out!"
~ Anastasia
That's about right! Cardin Finn Hunsaker is finally here. It is interesting to find out who is praying the hardest, and most of the time I think between my mother and my Grandma Bush, they win hands down. I am sure that when Grandma Bush calls the temple they already know to put our names on the prayer roll. But I APPRECIATE it! Cardin had to be a scheduled birth due to my hectic school testing schedule, and more importantly because David was still living his single bachelor lifestyle in New York. I was dialated to a two for 2 1/2 weeks and then dialated to a three and 80% effaced for a week, two weeks before the original due date of April 30th. Thats when I called David and told him to catch a flight out as soon as he could. He did {what a wonderful guy!} But because mom and grandma were still praying that I would be able to finish my last midterms in physics and organic chemistry (and for the two girls to get over the nasty rota-virus flu) baby Cardin didn't come until his scheduled inducing on April 23rd 2009. I think it is a kinda random thing to ask about the weight and height of the baby. . . what are we comparing here? But anyhow for those interested, he was born 7 lbs. & 14 oz; 21 inches long. For fear that some mothers with far worse delivery experiences would hate me for sharing my delivery stories, lets just say it was "all good" and baby and mom did great!
Grandpa "Smoochie" took the girls out all by himself to the park to take pictures last Sunday afternoon, and how grateful I was to him for taking sometime to spend with his little grand-daughters. I certainly needed the break wrestling three kids all by myself. (I can't wait for David and I to live together again for many reasons, but two extra hands are pretty high up there on the list!) Regardless, here are the fruits of Big Dave's excellent adventure that afternoon!
