After nine months of anticipation, worry, heartache, joy and, well, stress, and after 2 and a half months without these (or any other sugary foods, including the pregnancy staple, ice cream)
and 2 months of testing blood glucose levels....
GUMMY SHARK IS FINALLY HERE! He arrived on Friday morning, August 6, at 8:10 am after 5 hours of labor. His official name is Finnegan Roscoe Pollard, but his full "Pollard" name is Finnegan Roscoe Gummy Shark Pollard. I am Keegan Alexander Irish Prince Pollard. Dada is Angus Alexander Ogilvey McTavish Pollard.
Gummy looked a little like me when he was born, but he also looks quite a bit different -- most notably is his full head of brown hair (like mama when she was born), but it's in the same shape as dada's hairline. Mama was both happy and sad that Gummy doesn't have my swirl of hair.
Crazy feet! Look how far he spreads out his big toe from the rest of them!
Dada and his new little man, who came dangerously close to being named Finnegan Dodge Pollard because he was almost born in dada's truck. Good news is that so far, Dada has eluded any illnesses that he suffered when I was born.
I came up to the hospital to meet Gummy (yes, I am still calling him Gummy and not showing any signs that I plan to call him Finn anytime soon) on Friday after swimming lessons. I love him! 
I even got to hold Gummy. He was a little nervous, but all went well.
I left the hospital so that everyone could get some sleep.
Later that afternoon, I brought Ga and Papa to the hospital so they could meet Gummy.
Ga is in heaven, holding her new baby grandson.
Delicious cookie bouquet from mama's work, and mama got her first blue boxes! A beautiful set of earrings and a necklace from dada for a push present. Dada just bought it the day before - right on time!
I came back to the hospital on Saturday to hang out with Gummy some more. I am still working on "gentle." 
Tons of kisses for my new little brother.
