Elliot's birth story (Paul's perspective)

The first time we did this, I was nervous as a cat. We spent a long day trying to get Noah, and a much longer night once he came. Followed up with a hellish 4 days in the hospital with an ever shrinking room.

This time, I kicked back, took a little nap as they were getting Mandy prepped, took some pictures, posed for a few photos and went home to a nice bed and had the best three nights' sleep I've had in over two years. I really wasn't all that useful...

If it were this easy the first time, we wouldn't have sold all of Noah's baby stuff so fast.

Made me laugh out loud. I'm glad it was so much easier on you guys this time around. You all needed that so much after the trauma of the last time! Maybe you'll have a third...???? :)

So glad to hear it was good for you. It's definitely all about you. (;

Elliott is darling and it looks like Noah already has this big brother stuff down. Now's when it really starts getting good...

Congrats to you and Mandy!

Guys always have it easy, even when they say they had "a tough time".. They should try having the baby.
