Arthur is born!

Sophie and I were relaxing around 9pm last night, watching Star Trek episodes on the Xbox, a new feature we just found out about with lots of free shows and movies through Amazon. We watched, had ice cream, and talked about all the things we were going to do over the next 6 days (that's how long until baby was due). I was in the kitchen and suddenly I hear Sophie cry out for me. Her water had broken and so we tried to remain calm but were in shock. We called her doctor's office and then waited for the doctor on call to call us back. We gathered our things and got to the hospital around 10:30. After all the checking in and filling out forms, etc. they got her into a room and called in the anesthesiologist. Everything zoomed by so quickly. He was born by C-section at 12:57am. Little Arthur Joseph Armstrong weighed 8lbs 4 oz and is 21 inches long.
We have been awake pretty much nonstop since then and I am exhausted. My parents are here and they are a big help.  I am still amazed.
