Up late, in a hospital bed, holding our new baby boy. I would love to be sleeping, but two nurses have already said they were coming back soon, so there's not much point in trying.
He was born at 9:39 pm, weighing in at 9 pounds 2 ounces and was 21 3/4 inches long. Labor lasted about 7 1/2 hours, with only about 20 minutes of pushing. Once the epidural kicked in, it was actually quite easy, with no pain at all as he was coming out.
We were also lucky to have several family members in the room with us, so it made the day go by much quicker. Overall, a pretty successful day.
He still has yet to be named, but hopefully soon! So for now, the newest member of the family.
