Today Edmund is beyond the three’s. I never thought I would have a baby born on a major holiday. My third-born came several days late, so when I woke up the morning of July 4, 2002, and I knew baby was fiinally coming, I thought, “This is going to make birthday party themes a piece of cake.”
Speaking of cake, I’m off to the kitchen to bake one and to finish cleaning the house. I’ve two birthday parties this weekend. One for my Susan – she’s eight Saturday – and a family party this Sunday for both my July babies. (Just so you know, blogging will be light this week because I’ve a lot to do to get ready for the weekend.)
And I have a surprise that I’m getting ready to unveil, so stay tuned.

Well Happy Birthday Edmund!
I tried my hardest to have a 4th of July baby, but I missed it by 19 minutes. So today we celebrate the birthday of my 5th of July baby! (o:
Oh, how funny!
Edmund was my fastest labor and biggest baby. From labor to birth: approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes. And a huge 9.1 lbs.
My almost 4th of July baby was pretty fast too. I think I got to the hospital at 10 pm and I had her at 12:19 am. It was way faster than I thought it was going to be. I better be on my toes if I have any others! My babies so far have not been quite as big as yours though. Both of mine were right around the 7 pound mark.
