Introducing...
Born at home
Saturday, August 14, at 10:08 AM
.
He weighs a delicate 10 pounds, 2 ounces
(that is a 15 and a half inch melon there, folks!).
.
Because for some reason in our culture, the following information seems to be of interest, I can tell you he was 21 1/2 inches long, but for me the coolest stats are that he came out in 4 pushes and I didn't need any stitches, and 5 hours after the birth I had lost 22 pounds (if you think the baby was big, you should have seen the placenta!).
And to think my first was born by cesarean because I was "too small to push out a baby over 8 pounds".
.
But the best part is that he is here and safe and well.
We are so grateful and
so very blessed.
.
I have shed a thousand joyful (and a few hormonal) tears today.
Can you believe it?
He's here!
(and he's a he! That was a surprise...)
.
We will rest up a bit and tell you more about him soon!
Jonah, right out of the belly of the whale, with Daddy, Mama, and dear friend Francine.
