So I'm talking on the phone to my dad who lives in Chicago with the rest of the 8 million people in my family (exaggeration? yes) He proclaims to me that my sister is planning to have her baby on Friday February 5th whether she naturally goes into labor or not. So I say oh wow I m move some things around this weekend and actually be there!! So I make all these plans, I tell my professors about my plan, I tell my boss not to schedule me for work on Sunday, I make deals with people to trade shifts at work, with the intention of surprising my sister in Chicago just in time to welcome Baby Jordan into the world! Oh it was going to be amazing. Then I had trouble getting someone to cover one (ONE) of my shifts, so I call and see how definite this plan to induce actually is. I call her and she tells me it's not this Friday (2/5/10) It's NEXT Friday (2/12/10). UGH! So naturally I go into hilariously spoiled baby sister mode and say "well next weekend I have a conference so you'd better have this baby this weekend" (I said this semi jokingly but not really...). Then, not 2 hours later I get a call... "hey it's Dad, we're at the hospital, your sister's 7cm dilated, we'll call back later." Umm...WHAT?? I JUST talked to her 2 hours ago! So I like to think I had a lot to do with this birth :o) And now I'm in Chicago, just got home from a day at the hospital and I am about to start my take home midterm... yay
I'd like to formally introduce Jordan Nicole Johnson born February 4 2010 at 12:57am.
