Donald James (or DJ as we've taken to calling him) was born Wednesday morning at 11:04 am weighing 9 lbs 3 oz (yes, OUCH!) and measuring 21 3/4 inches long. I delivered vaginally but ended up getting an epidural, which was an EXCELLENT decision! I ended up with four lacerations, one of them third degree. That wasn't fun, but the hospital and the doula were both excellent and an excellent combo.
We came home from the hospital today. My folks come out tomorrow for about a week.
Looking forward to getting caught up with everyone.
congratulations to you on the birth of your baby boy. So excited for you. I hope you are feeling well and recovering from the delivery (wow 9 lbs!!!!). welcome to the world DJ!!
ReplyDeleteI have to laugh! I've been following your blog since discovering we had the same due date (I conceived through IVF). My little girl was born on Tuesday, also over nine pounds, also vaginal delivery with an epidural and we came home today.
