The new baby arrived last night at 7:54 p.m. Little R was 8 lbs. 4 ounces, 20.75 inches. The delivery was quick and without any pain medicine. I did request some at the last moment, but it was too late. Now I am glad I did it that way, just to prove to myself that I could and to fully experience it.
He's nursing like a champ and looks great. I am recovering from a pretty severe tear and am taking Percocet and Ibuprofen.
We hope to go home later today. I will write out the whole birth story while it is still fresh in my mind a little later.
