He's here!

Late last night shortly after midnight I received a call from my mother telling me that my nephew Justin Giovanni Castellanos has arrived. Mother and son are both doing fine. He was a healthy 7lbs 6ozs. That is my sister's biggest {and last} child. {It's also smaller than my smallest 7lbs 9.5 ozs} My sister has always wanted four. Two girls and Two boys, which she now has.

Around 8pm last night we received a call informing us my sister was at the hospital having contractions, but the doctor was going to try to let her have him normally. {despite knowing that she's had to have c sections since the second one {which tried to come breach.}

When her contractions registered a 60, he quickly changed his mind and went in prepping for a c section. {Thank God for that, because having it normal could have very well killed both mother and child.} When contractions register 60 everything is good, but 70 is enough to crush the baby's skull...

I just got a call from my sister and she said she is finished having kids. She's had her tubes cut, burned, and tied.

Long story short the baby has arrived {wasn't due until Sept 3rd {sis's bday} and both mother and child are fine. Now maybe my cramps will lighten up. {They have been much harder than normal the last 24 hours} So all's well that ends well XD

In other news....

The weather is finally leveling out to a cool 95 degrees {yay!} so I should be able to write more often.

Oh and we recently got a new kitten his name is Whiskers {he has both white and black whiskers - hence his name} He's very hyper and has tuff of red fur over the black on his head that reminds us of Stripe {the Gremlin leader from the movie Gremlins} He's adorable and is a quick learner. Man is that kitten fast!

Our last cat {Ash Boy} went missing 10 weeks ago, but his mate has delivered one last litter of his kittens and I have been offered first choice XD

Ash was quick, but not like Whiskers. He's a great mouser too since he spent four weeks in a barn with his mama.

Okay that's it for this post XD

Update!

For those of you following my sister's pregnancy news, the baby has dropped a 4th time in two weeks. She wasn't due until September, but I have a feeling after the doctor's visit tomorrow, we will be told it's coming sooner than she thinks. She hasn't even been able to see her feet since barely into her third month and now all of a sudden she can see her feet peeking out when she sits down.

The baby boy {yes single, not plural like everyone originally thought} was estimated to be approximately around 15lbs in Sept. He's about 12 and 1/2lbs even now.

This is her fourth {and hopefully last} kid. She's sick of being pregnant and seriously stressed over being put on maternity leave after it's born. Without her working, they won't be able to cover their bills.

I'll update again when I find out how the doctor appointment tomorrow went.
