Baby John is here! Birth story:

I can't believe he's finally here! I had an appointment Monday and found out I was 2cm, finally some progress! I went to the hospital to be induced around 5:30 that evening and John came very quickly, at 2:51 yesterday afternoon, 11/15. I say quickly because I was in labor with my first baby for 44 hours! We had a cytotec induction which was very successful. My water was broken and epidural administered at 1:30PM and I seriously went from 4cm to 10cm in just over an hour! It was crazy fast. John weighs 6lb 3.7oz and is 18" long. He is perfect and healthy! Born at 39w3d.
