He's finally here! labor story :)

Our baby boy Daniel Luke was born yesterday at 2:36pm weighing 11Lbs 8oz and 21 inches!!! Such a big boy! I had to deliver by c section. I was scheduled to be induced, started the pitocin and doc recommended a c section. He still would not drop into my birth canal and also to his shear size. She thought he would be in the mid 9lb range, not a 11lb baby! The umbibical cord was around his neck twice also, Im so glad I decided to go for the c section instead of putting him through that long battle. Hes perfect; cute, chubby cheeks and lots of hair! I still cant believe he's here!

Congratulations! Wow not to many try to match my 1st son at 11lbs 12 oz. I hoping this one will be smaller! I had to go c section too because of his size. My Dr also said he was going to around 9 lbs. Boy are they wrong. Enjoy your little one!
