I'm happy to report today that there will no more pictures of Cati's belly. The belly you will mostly see now is that of Haraldur Collus Johnson, born at 11:26am on July 24, 2010. 7lbs, 10 ozs. There is much to say about the amazingness of Cati and her spurning conventional wisdom and having a baby her way (I kept wanting to shout "We're not even supposed to be here!" and chest bump someone, but it wasn't really a macho kinda atmosphere), but I'll save that for a day when I've had more sleep. Suffice it to say, it was an incredible experience that has shaped our souls differently from here on after.
For now, a few pictures will tell some of the story...
Not yet borned, but close!
