i had my baby yesterday! :D (update!)

[the elyse]

and it's a boy!! Cash McCullah came yesterday at 12:32 at home in the water after three and a half hours of pushing. he's 8lbs and about 22 inches long. i'll give more details later, but i woke at about 4:30 slightly crampy, and when i checked myself at 6:30 i was 6 cm! still on bed rest, i'm pretty sure i broke my tailbone. i love my baby!!! more pictures and story later.


hi everyone!! no broken tailbone after all (thank god) just really bruised. i haven't written out my story yet, but i'll get to it soon.
