Welcome Baby Santiago!

He's here! Finally after almost 24 hours of labor he made it today Sunday at exactly 40 weeks (sex was the magic after trying everything else and not working) I started getting contractions friday night around 10 pm didn't head to the hospital until about 4 hours later when they were 10 mins apart. I was only 1 cm dilated!! After about 3 hours I went on to 3 cm and got moved into my labor room and it was taking forever for me to dilate! They were gonna give me pitocin but I was scared and said I'd rather get the epidural (contractions are not our friends) once on the epidural my body relaxed and I made it to a 7. Around 11 30 pm Saturday night I began to push. After an hour my wonderful blessing was born at 12 43 weighing  7 lbs 4 oz and 20 1/2 inches long!
