Hey, Get This.

Written by sally @ 9:14 pm — Section: leggo my preggo

So get this: yesterday at 4:09 pm, I had a baby — a healthy 8 pound, 8 ounce baby boy with a head full of black, black hair. He is sweet, is 21 inches long, looks like his dad, and has a very cute wrinkly baby behind.

The original birth plan was this: ripening, breaking the water, induction, baby. What actually happened: ripening (um, ripening suxxit), then my water broke, then I got to the desired 10 centimeters, then I pushed for awhile, and then it became apparent that the baby wasn’t happy, so then I had a c-section, and then I had a baby. I can now sympathize with the regular deliverers and the c-sectioners of the world. All I can say is, thank god for epidurals.

So! The baby is doing great! And now Lost is on and the baby is sleeping, so I gotta go.

    Yaaayyyy!! Oh, that is so awesome. What a big guy, too! I cannot wait to see him and his black hair.

    And how cool is it that you got home in time to see “Lost”? What a considerate little guy, keeping your diligent TV schedule in mind!
