We welcomed our beautiful, healthy baby boy on March 6, 2014 at 6:57 PM. He weighed 6 lbs 7 oz and was 48 cm long.
It all started Monday night and by Tuesday morning my contractions were 5 minutes apart but upon arrival to the hospital and observation I was only 1.5 cm dilated and though my contractions were 2-3 minutes apart and I was in a lot of pain back home I went. 60 hours later . . . a baby! A healthy baby boy. I arrived at my ob-gyn's office at 10:30 Thursday morning and I was 4 cm dilated. She sent me to the hospital and I had the epidural administered at around 1 PM by 5 PM I was pushing. Everything was very peaceful. My husband, my mom, a nurse and my doctor were the only ones there. Nothing like the movies. I ended up having a forcep delivery because I could not push him out and after pushing for a little bit his heart rate would drop so it was forceps or a C-section, we went for the forceps and if that did not work then we would have to have the C-section. Thankfully everything went well and I am recovering nicely at home. We are so very happy and excited for our baby. Words cannot express the love that I feel for this little man. We feel truly blessed and we are very thankful.
I packed two going home outfits, a dress in case of warm weather and this. It was 66 degrees out so not cold but a little chilly. I opted for a J. Crew angora sweater, similar here, printed silk pants, similar here and Gucci thong sandals, similar here.

We were discharged on Saturday and when we arrived home we had a mini welcome home celebration and flowers and gifts waiting. Thank you very much to everyone for the warm wishes, we are thankful to have you in our lives.
