8 pounds 2 ounces, 21 1/2 inches long
Born right on time, June 17th at 11:02pm
We've been thanking our Heavenly Father day and night for so sweetly and directly answering our prayers for a successful VBAC labor and delivery, which was much more swift than we expected (around 4 hours long!) and dream-fulfilling by being an entirely natural, drug-free birth. (Holy cow, I thought my life was ending!) I recall biting, kicking, screaming louder than anything I've ever heard before, telling Jared to kill me, and asking the doctor to just reach in there and pull him out! I don't know how many times I screamed 'I can't!', but my best friend was by my side, lifting and holding me, insisting I could. And somehow I did. I can't wait to write about the entire experience.
Life is good!

ReplyDeleteYEAH!!!!! I'm so glad he arrived so safely and quickly. Jared told me the story and I'm so amazed. What a beautiful boy he is. I love his coloring. I can't wait to see him and steal Morgan away for a couple hours-so you can take a rest. Great job!
