We had a precious baby boy on Saturday, May 13!
We named him Amiel and we are soooo in love. He is just amazing and I still cannot believe he is ours! He weighed 6lbs 12oz and is 19 inches long.
Amiel a few hours after birth
Labor was great considering that they ended up inducing with some pitocin because his fluid levels were low and causing concern. I was already in labor, but it was moving really slow. We tried nipple stimulation for a few hours, but it just wasn't doing it. Labor was extrememly intense and fast: 4 hours total with only 45 min of pushing
I was able to make it through without any pain meds and I am really proud of myself. That was definitely the hardest physical feat of my life so far. My DH was a GREAT coach and between him and the doula, I was alright. Good luck to those who have yet to meet there little ones. It is alllll worth it!!!!!!!!
