I've been so engrossed in the new baby that I've hardly taken the time to turn on the computer, and will likely hardly get time again for a while, since this baby nurses constantly, but please help me welcome
Elliot James Wilde Redalen-Fraser
Born November 21, at 10:45 in the morning, in the water after a 13 hour labor and 1 hour of pushing.
I'll write up the whole birth story sometime later, but I spent most of the week before he was born having painful prodromal labor which the midwives stopped with medication friday night. DH and I got one last weekend alone together, and spent it having little dates for lunch and movies so I got to see both Harry Potter and Walk the Line without baby company.
Started having contractions monday night at about 9pm, stayed up laboring all evening and went to the birth center around 7am in the middle of rush hour traffic
Absolutely the worst part of labor!
Everything at the birth center went well, labored in the tub mostly, baby tolerated everything well, and in the end was born in one mighty push. He started breastfeeding immediately, and has been sleeping reasonbly well and regularly. Mama and papa are completely besottedly thrilled, and all three of us have been enjoying cocooning in the house on our babymoon.
