After 13.5 hours of labor, Laura delivered a healthy baby boy at 7:36 pm. The baby weighed in at 9 lbs, 1 oz and measured 22 inches long. We don’t have a name yet, or pictures, but Mom and baby are doing great (no tearing!), the kiddo scored well on his APGARs, and things are going well.
Now, I believe I am going to be sent off for some real food, as Mom really wants something to eat 🙂
Good night, everyone! We’ll post more in the morning!

Congratulations to you all! I cant wait to see photos of the newest family member. You must be thankful that he is healthy and yes quite big too. My daughter was 9lb 2 and very long and I felt like a new woman afterwards, with all that extra weight off my ligaments. Take care and rest!

It was so great to be able to monitor the whole event via ‘finch’land. I tried to write from my phone right after but it would not let me….but I was smiling and so happy that everything went so well. Get some well deserved good food and good rest. Love you guys!

Boy, this delayed posting/moderating thing really threw me. You can remove about 10 of my previous comments! How’s BabyX?
