Nicholas Rowan was born Nov 13

[carpediemforlife]

Nicholas was born 11/13 at 12:35pm he was 7lbs 14oz and 21 in long.  Labor was about 17 hours and I slept thru most of it. And when it came time to push it was 3 real good ones over 2 contractions and my son was here. They placed him on my belly and he cried and my DH and I cried til it hurt.  This is our first born after 2 losses. We did skin to skin after he was cleaned up and he breastfed right after. It was so so special.......We are now getting to learn each other.  He did end up w/a fractured clavical but its very common and it really doesnt seem to bother him in the slightest. I was very lucky for a vaginal birth I had no tears or damage....everything stretched and out he came. And Ive got some post pardom issues....high blood pressure, feet/ankle swelling, migraines.  Im suffering thru it he's so worth it.  So I havent been online til tonight.

Congrats! I am so glad that everything went well and everything is going good.  I hope you feel better and I am so sorry about the post-partum issues you are having.  I am still hanging in there! (probably the last to go in Nov, I'll probably go in DEC) and still nothing - just 1 cm dilated 25% effaced -2! AHHH I am so jealous of you all!  Can't wait until it is my turn!
