It was amazing.
While we have yet to pick a name for the little guy, here are some quick stats:
He was born at 8:51 p.m. He was 7 pounds, 14 ounces and 20 inches long. He had a great latch from the beginning, and he's been nursing very well.
He also just gave his mommy his first smile this morning after being awake for most of the night.
We are totally smitten with our new little guy, and his big brother, who was asleep at Grandma and Buba's during labor and delivery will meet him this afternoon after he has waffles with his grandparents. When I talked to the toddler on the phone, though, and I told him baby brother arrived and we needed to celebrate his birthday, the toddler promptly announced we needed cake, ice cream and presents.
But it seems like this little bundle was present enough.I will be sure to post about the actual birth sometime within the next two days.
Yay, so glad everything went well! And FAST, 5 hours WOW! Can't wait to hear the story and his name. Rest well!
