Baby Surprise is Here!
Xangaland, I am so proud to introducing the newest member of our family, formerly known as Baby Surprise:
Derek Bennett O'Neal, born at 1:38 p.m. Pacific Time on July 5, 2009, at 39 weeks and 1 day, after 40 hours of labor and 2.5 hours of pushing. He weighed in at 7 lb 10 oz (two ounces smaller than Jack), and measured in at 21.5 inches (two inches longer than Jack).
As for the name, Derek doesn't have any particular significance -- we just both liked the name. Bennett is in honor Johnny's maternal grandpa, Gerard Bennett.
Derek and I are both doing well, and Johnny was an amazing labor coach. I am extremely tired, so I'll save the birth story for some other time (soon, maybe tomorrow), and also post some pictures. Just wanted to keep you updated!
