The labor was long as you probably figured from my Friday post which it turns out I wrote while in labor. We went in at 5:30 pm on Friday and only had to spend about three minutes in traige before they admitted us. Once the epidural was in, I was back to my normal self after being fairly miserable for the previous day. I must have seemed a little too comfortable because Matt was extremely relaxed during labor. I know most of you don't believe that this is what he was like, but seriously, he spent a couple hours reading the paper.
Around 2:30 am, I started pushing. At 6 am they decided we had to do something else, so we were suited up for the operating room.
I was totally overwhelmed at this point, but it was all worth it. Here are a couple pictures in the operating room just after he was born.
We are home now and starting to adjust to having a little one in the house. It is wonderful having him here, but I can tell already that life is going to be so different. We already have so much we want to share. I'll have to wait until later for that.
