Here he is the little guy... He came on Nov. 3 at 4:00 a.m. He weighed 7lbs 12 ounces after 24 hrs of labor- I had him natural- b/c I was more scared of an epi than of natural childbirth... I was soo lucky and got Mae the nurse a plig from Colorado City who has had 10 natural childbirths. She knew all the tricks and was the only reason I could do it. I love that women sooo much. I pushed for 3 1/2 hrs. aaah that was the crazy part. I woke up the day before at 4:00 a.m. to a gigantic lightening storm and that was where it all started with contractions all day etc... My friend Jill came and helped me through the whole process too... which was so sweet of her. I love her. It was so like the Red Tent during my labor with My mom, Sue-o, Jill, Jenee, 2 nurses(Mae and Melissa) and Micah the only boy. It was such an incredible expierence and bonded us all sooo much- I don't really know how else to put it. Sue swears she could have made a million if I would have let her record it. Then it was cool b/c when we were bringing him home there was a light little rainfall, out like a lamb... in like a lion; that's how Leo came.
