New Hyde Baby!
The Hyde family grew by one earlier today. My older brother and his wife had their third son. The little guy (or not so little–8 pounds, 2 ounces) was definitely ripe for getting born. His mom started having contractions at 2:30 p.m., and he popped out at 4:15 p.m. They didn’t even have time to Continue reading
