My son was born on Friday, August 26th, at 10:18 a.m. He weighed an even 8lbs and measured 21 inches long. His father and I think he's just about perfect.
My "wish" for a high intervention birth was granted, and somewhere in the middle of all of those interventions, it occurred to me that I would really hate to have to eat my words, but further thoughts on that will have to wait until we get some sleep.
For now, please know that we're happy, exhausted, and feeling unbelievably blessed.
Holy cow - you have a baby!
Congratulations, I am so excited for you!

Congratulations! I usually only lurk, but your son shares a birthday (four years later) with my son, so I had to post. August 26 is a great day for a birhday!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Give him snuggles and take a million pictures. The clock that had been going so slow will now speed up. Blink and he'll be a year.
I'm so happy for you.

My very very very heartiest congratulations to your family and my best welcome to the world for your baby boy.
Lisa, I am so happy for you.
PS In case you are wondering if the newborn days suck for everyone the answer is Yes. If you are wondering how long it takes until it gets better the answer is six weeks. If you aren't wondering these things at all just ignore me (but I will be spitting with envy at your easy baby.)
