OT...baby arrived

Well he finally decided to make himself know. Sept 5 @ 4:10pm. Weighed
8lbs 5ozs and was 21 inches long. Labour was very long, longer then any
of my others, 12hrs. Dr suspects that he was face up at first and that
was the issue. After having 7 other kids he said it's unusual to have a
labour that long. The first 5 were 8hrs and the last 2 were only 4 hrs.
So we were expecting 4hrs or less. Obviously baby had other ideas. He
finally turned though and came out properly. Everyone was pretty excited
but tired after a long night and day. I had not slept at all in two days.

Baby, Jonathan James, is very content little guy. Only woke up twice on
his first night. Parents of course are thrilled to death as well as
grandma was there for all of it as well. Hospital staff and dr were
absolutely wonderful to all of us! Both of us were discharged around
noon today. Came home and slept for 2 hrs. Early to bed tonight and get
back on track again.

Thanx to everyone for their well wishes and prayers. I really
appreciated them all.

Congratulations!! Hope the littlest one goes on being easy on you.
Maybe he was trying to make up for that 12 hrs? Turtle
