Another rare Dad posting. Things were quite busy preparing for the arrival of a new baby. Even Sophia has really taken to playing with babies. She pats them to sleep and has been trying to feed the doll given to her by Daniele Rottkamp. We went to the hospital Monday morning for scheduled C-section. Shawn was hoping for VBAC (pronounced V back), or vaginal birth after C-section, but didn't get the opportunity. We scheduled the C-section as the risk for uterine rupture increases significantly past the due date. Additionally, it is higher in larger kids. For that reason, I'm very happy with how things turned out. Josephine Marie Lipinski was born 8/23/2010 at 11:12 AM at 8 lbs 4 oz. Josephine was picked because Al's grandmother was Josephine and his grandfather was named Joseph and my middle name is Joseph. Shawn is doing well and recovering nicely. Josephine is eating like a champ and latched on immediately. We are planning on heading home tomorrow. Sophia has yet to meet Josephine so we will see how that goes. Michele and Al have been awesome and have taken care of Sophia and Leland. My folks are coming out in early September. It is so nice to have family that helps out.
