This is the first time I’ve given a shower and the guest of honor didn’t show up. With the holidays, Elyse and I decided to wait until January to throw Ash a shower. We knew it was a little late, but first babies always come late, don’t they? Imagine our surprise when her water broke this past Sat – the same day as the shower. We got the “we think…” phone call at about 8:00, but didn’t get the “it’s not a false alarm” phone call until 11:00. At that point it was way too late to call off a 1:00 shower. We knew everyone would understand – and besides, I needed people to help us eat all that food we’d ordered.

We has a nice time and by 3:30 we cleaned up everything and headed out to the hospital. When we arrived, the doctor was explaining to Nick and Ashley that she needed a c-section. By 5:30 or so, they were the proud parents of Hayden Marcelo. At 3 1/2 weeks early he still weighed in at a respectable 6 lbs, 13 oz, and 18 inches long. Mom and son are doing fine. Ashley will be out of the hospital by Weds. Check out the pics of the beautiful boy!
