After 17 hours of labor, we welcomed our baby boy into the world on Thursday September 17th at 2:13 in the afternoon. I made it all natural with no drugs or interventions. The Midwives of Vanderbilt were wonderful, as was our doula Jeannie Casey. My husband was the most amazing coach ever - a great support all the way and I dont think I could have done half as well as I did without him. He has also turned out to be a great dad - taking care of both of us as I heal the rest of the way.
Anyway, I delivered Andrew who weighed in at 8 pounds and 11 ounces (or 13 ounces according to another paper given to us) and was 20 3/4 inches long. He has blonde hair and blue/purple eyes, long feet and fingers. He's a doll for sure (although I prefer dolls who don't cry so much! lol )
