Elliot Lee arrived at 5:33am on Friday, August 4th.
8lbs 5oz
20"
and LOTS of dark hair!

Labor was about 13 hours long, minimal tearing. We just got home from the hospital, and already I feel great. Bleeding is already at a minimum and my perineum is healing very nicely. (It's so much easier when you aren't battling labial tears

: )

ETA: nursing has been a challenge for us so far, Elliot had a tongue tie and just couldn't get a good latch. Dr took care of that yesterday and I've already seen a huge improvement.

Birth story and pics to follow later...

Congrats! I've been thinking about you & the prodromal labor tribe... so glad everything went so well w/ Elliot's birth & that the tongue tie has been sorted out. I hope BFing goes smoother now.

Hey Steph, you had a really strong prediction on when he'd arrive, didn't you? When did you predict?

Happy babymoon!!!
