I will post all the details later… The short version is that baby Matthew is here. He was born at 1:22 a.m. on April 23. He weighed 7 lb, 8 oz and was 20 inches long. He is beautiful.
I got my natural birth. I arrived at the hospital around 11:30 p.m. and he was born about 2 hours later. My doula was AWESOME and I couldn’t have done it without her. Those last few hours hurts like a *%$^ so I am proud of myself. Like I said, birth story details will come later.
He nursed right after birth like a champ, he was so alert. We are getting the hang of nursing so far I think and I’m glad he seems to have a good latch.
We just got home this evening and are all doing well.
He is beautiful. I can’t believe how much I love him. I can’t believe he is finally here in my arms. When he was in the nursery I cried because I couldn’t stand to be away from him. My whole heart is wrapped around his tiny little fingers and I absolutely love it.
I can feel the love coming from you just from reading this. CONGRATS!
