Finally!!! Christian James is here!!!

[chiro_kristin]

Just call me Xena Warrior Princess!!

55 hours of full-on labor!!! He finally arrived at 6:55 p.m. Central time tonight, 8/24. He is 7 pounds, 6 ounces, 19-3/4 inches

Beautiful little cone-headed boy! Nursing like a champ and finally conked out.

Will post birth story and pics after I've finally gotten some sleep and am not bleeding so much.

I knew all of you were supporting me, and I thought of you while I was totally exhausted, wondering how much longer I could be doing this. Today I did tell my MWs that I would rather labor/push at least 2 more days before I went to the hospital, as they would have cut me so long ago!

No drugs either! (can you tell I'm proud of myself?)
