Madison has a baby BROTHER!!!!

Silas Lane (yes, the third Silas in this DDC)
11/17/07 8:37 am
8 lbs 13 oz.
22 inches

It was a total freight train labor, with water breaking and strong contractions to baby in just under 2 hours. Madison woke up about halfway through and helped massage my back and spray me with water. She was in the room when I pushed her baby brother out on hands and knees. She is loving him so much and keeps going in to sneek peeks and kisses. He is nursing great and napping away! I will write a more complete birth story and post pics in a bit. I feel so blessed.

Yay! Congratulations!

I hope that the freight train was labor passing through you rather than running you down. Happy babymoon!

Still working on my birth story. Having 2 is certainly a whirlwind :, but I already can't (and don't want to) imagine it any other way.
