He was born 1-31-13 (cool birthday, I know) and was 8 lbs 11 oz. Labor and Delivery couldn't have gone better. I did have to be induced (again) but when my waters were broken at about noon he was born just 5 hours later! I dilated so fast that the epidural had kinda a hard time catching up, but in the end worked great. I considered writing a song about epidurals - there are songs for everything else lovely and good in the world, but I've never heard a single one about epidurals. Odd. Pushing went insanely well, I had no idea it could go so positively. And then my beautiful little boy came into the world!! He was able to be delivered to my chest, which was what I wanted most this whole pregnancy, since Logan had complications and wasn't able to do immediate skin-to-skin. I knew if I got to do skin-to-skin with Adam it would mean both of us were doing well, we'd have that meaningful time to connect, and he'd get all the miraculous benefits of skin-to-skin. He came out healthy as can be and then ate for 40 minutes - that's my idea of getting things off to a good start ;)
