I don't know if I ever officially joined my DDC, but I thought I would announce the arrival of my first baby, Noah Ryder, born on his due date 12/5!
My water broke shortly after midnight during a WI snowstorm, and after a very quick and intense labor, he was born in the bathtub in the Birthing Center where I am an RN at 3:13 am, after just 13 minutes of pushing. We don't officially do waterbirths there...oops
That's all for now!
Edit:
We had a newborn photo shoot yesterday with an amazing lady (a gift from my coworkers!). She did a quick edit on a couple photos and they are on her blog here:
