Nikolai Alexander is here! UPDATED WITH 2-hour Birth Story! (go to last posts)

[barcelona]

I'm so thrilled to announce the birth of our second little boy, Nikolai Alexander.

He was born at 4:43 am on October 12th, after TWO HOURS of labor, from first contraction to coming out. He was due on Thursday 10/15.

It was VERY intense. The midwife came in as he was crowning.
I'll be back with my birth story later this week when I write it.

We are overjoyed and still in a bit of shock!, and feel so very very blessed.
Big brother, Finley, is doing great with his new baby brother.

Nikolai was 7lbs 6 oz and 19 inches long at birth.

Here are pictures:
