Musings from Mom

I've kept you waiting long enough! Yes, he has arrived! I'll be brief with details and I'll make sure I post my birth story once I finally have time to type it up.

March 8 at 9:45 pm my water broke while sitting in bed. We arrived at the hospital around 11:00 and contractions were regular and close together. By 1:00 am I was ready to push.

Dawson Bane was born at 1:24 am (we think...LOL... more details later) after a very exciting birth. He's a whopper too!

10 pounds, 10 ounces and 21.5 inches long!

Labor was short and the delivery was great. I finally experienced going into labor on my own! Everything was 100% natural! I'm so happy!

It's been a wild ride since his arrival since my entire household has had colds and then a stomach virus. But Dawson is holding his own and doing well. He's a great little nursling and a beautiful baby. His big brothers are very proud and are watching his every move!

I'll update soon. Right now things are so hectic with all of these damn illnesses!

I finally feel like I can have this baby since I've made it to March! March 7 is next week! I cannot believe I'm due already.

Everything is going okay. I've been on modified bedrest since last week when my blood pressure was a little higher than what my midwife wanted. I had an appointment today and it was normal again.

So far no labor though. I was given the go ahead to try castor oil on Tuesday if I'm still pregnant. Blech. But if it'll keep me from being induced that would be great!!!

Hopefully next time I post I'll be posting about our new baby boy!!!
