Well, all of the waiting is over. We had Noah on Wednesday October 3rd and 12:01 in the morning. That’s just after midnight. He weighed 7 pounds and 1 ounce and was 20 inches long.
He’s got long legs and arms, and big feet. He really is the cutest thing though. He’s a great eater already, and we’re having no troubles breast feeding him. Both he and Sharon are doing fine. We’ll be bringing him home Friday morning.
Sharon was having contractions as early as Monday afternoon, and after one false trip Monday night, and a lot of contractions Tuesday, we went in Tuesday night around 7:00. After all that, it only took 5 hours to get him out, and only 40 minutes of that was pushing. Sharon did great!
Well, I have to get back to the hospital and check on Sharon and Noah. Be sure to check out the new pictures in Noah’s album, and read Sharon’s diary entry on 9/24 to get some sense of our frustrations leading up to this.
We’ll get more pictures and stuff up once we get back home. Tell all your friends to come see our cute baby! 🙂
