He is here! We are very excited. He was born Wednesday, July 20 at 5:25 PM weighing in at a perfect 7 lb 2 oz and 20in long. He is pretty much the most handsome little boy I have ever seen. Not sure who he looks like. Labor and delivery went very smoothly. The doctor actually had me pull my own baby out. It was crazy. He had me push out the head and shoulders, then he told me to grab underneath his arms and pull. So I did. At the moment it was really gross because he was so bloody and goopy, but it was really a cool experience. I came home the next night. I don't like sleeping in the hospital. Since bringing him home he has been really good and easy. He eats like a champ and yesterday he was back up to his birthweight. I can't think of any other details to add. I am kinda sad it's over. My sister related having a baby to getting married. There are nine months of anticipation and waiting and planning. Everything builds up to that moment and then it's over in the blink of an eye and it's kinda sad that it's over. Oh well. I guess that's why I will just have to have another one. :) I feel very blessed to have two beautiful healthy children. I am also so blessed to have such a loving supportive family. My mother-in-law took Raegan for two solid days (no easy task) and my mom flew out Thursday and has been here helping and cooking and losing about as much sleep as I have. And lots of other people have been so nice to come visit and to offer to bring treats and meals.
