He is beautiful and healthy. Rayna is a very proud big sister. Mom and baby are doing great. Labor didn't go too long about 6-8 hours. I am very proud to say that I did it all naturally without any pain medications. That was a big goal for me and one that I am very proud to say that I accomplished. We are just glad that he is here safe and sound. I couldn't have done it without the wonderful support of my doula, Erin and of course, Randy. The nurses were awesome too! My regular doctor wasn't able to be there for delivery. He missed it by about 30 minutes. But the doctor I had did an awesome job. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Randy's parents made it just in time. His mom walked in about 10 minutes before he came out. I'm just glad he didn't wait another week for his actual due date or more, especially at 8 lbs! I couldn't believe it when they told me that he weighed that much. Rayna was only 6.5 lbs and she was a week overdue!!
It's always worth it in the end. It amazes me every time I think about the incredible miracle of bringing a new little human life into this world. It just makes me in awe of the Creator Himself! WOW! How can anyone ever doubt that there is a God after you look into your newborn's beautiful face! It truly is an awesome event that words can't even describe.
