Sorry I haven't updated sooner. Dh wouldn't let me call or text anyone in the middle of the night and I've been running off so little sleep today. Hospital has WiFi though!

Our son Matthew was born at 1:22 a.m. He weighs 7 lb 8 oz and is 20 inches long. He has some brown hair and blue eyes for now.

I was only in labor at the hospital for 2 hours and thank goodness for that, because I don't think I could have done it with no drugs otherwise. That is right, I am getting my medal, no pain meds at all! My doula was AWESOME.

I'll have to post the whole birth story soon. I can hardly believe our little guy is here. We are so in love. He is beautiful and perfect. David is so sweet with him and keeps exclaiming over how cute he is.
