Welcome to the World Mark!

Hello All!

Well, we were induced Monday, and after only 4 hours of labor my new son, Mark William, arrived! He is absolutely beautiful with a full head of brown curly hair! He weighed 6 lbs 11 oz and is 19 inches long.

Last night he had a low blood sugar and was rather cold so he had to spend about 2 hours in the nursery, but we were happy to welcome him back!

I am doing great. Unlike my last birth I did not tear at all! I will be sure to post pictures as soon as I have access to my camera cord....

The contractions weren't stronger than the first time, just more frequent in a shorter amount of time. This birth, in comparison to my last, was super easy. I thought it was less painful overall, did not tear, and have had minimal bleeding. Boy what a difference each pregnancy makes!

That was really quick!  Were the contractions stronger than the first time though?   I'm glad everybody's healthy, can't wait to see him!
