He arrived on the fast-track delivery plan. Amanda started having contractions around 3:30 a.m., which were initially confused with the after effects of Burrito Loco. We got to the hospital at 7:30, and things progressed very quickly. Milo had clearly decided that today was the day, unconstrained by his original due date of May 28 and the May 20 date that had been scheduled for the C-section.

Amanda is doing well. According to the triage nurse, she has a remarkably high tolerance for pain.

Milo's got a thick head of dark hair and baby Elvis sideburns. He's got Amanda's long monkey toes. He can cry, he can eat, he can sleep and he can suck his thumb. He'll probably be solving multivariate equations by tomorrow.
