Hey all! Bryan Wesley was born 10 days early on 5/10 at 12:20am. He weighed 7 lbs 4 oz and was 20 in long. The labor was 9.5 hours and pretty intense....from 3cm on I had contractions every 1-2min and they were definitely the most painful I've ever had. From what I understand he was facing upwards the entire time until I started pushing and he turned himself into the right position....I was in so much pain I couldn't comprehend anything during a contraction. I spent an hour on the birthing ball slightly bouncing to try to get a grip on the pain....nothing worked. I then went from 6cm to 9cm in a half hour and luckily he was out in 6 pushes. So at least that part went fast. I tore a little....I think I only got like 5 stitches. BUt other than that, he is perfect (a pretty good sleeper so far too, he gives me 3 hour stretches and last night did almost a 4 hour stretch) and the breastfeeding is going okay. He doesn't have the widest latch on yet, so I have to break the seal a lot and try again.....my nipples are sore and had bleed a couple times....but he's starting to get better at it. So that's it for me. I'm VERY VERY happy to not be pregnant anymore.....I got my body back.....and I'm loving sleeping on my back again!!! Good luck to everyone and their babies!!!!!!!!! 
Welcome baby Bryan!! 
. Soon for me.... soon.
I cannot wait to sleep on my back again, too...
