Our new little man in here!!!
As of 5:44 a.m. on Friday, August 13th, 2010, my handsome son has arrived! He made us wait nearly a week past his due date, but when he decided he was ready – oh boy! He was ready right then! Labor was less than three hours from start to delivery and we were only at the hospital for about 45 minutes before he was born…there wasn’t even enough time to get the epidural in properly, so I also (unintentionally) experienced natural childbirth. Not something I wanted, but not something I regret…also not something I’m sure I want to repeat! But it’s how it happened and it’s ok! It was absolutely the most overwhelming pain I’ve ever felt, but because (in the big picture) it didn’t last that long, it was bearable. Our son, Zebedee Bryan, is here, weighing in at a healthy 8 pounds and measuring at a lanky 22 inches!
Here is a picture of my precious big boy meeting little brother for the first time. I’ll do another post, I’m sure, to encompass my general hospital experience (which has been great. But I wanted to make the big announcement while it’s still new!
