Shane has finally decided to introduce himself to the world. He was born on January 30th at exactly 10:00 am, after 13 hours of labor. The labor and delivery went well, I was able to hold off on the epidural until I was almost 8 cm dilated, it was pretty painful at that point, and I wish I wouldn't have been so stubborn and gotten the epidural before they broke my water (next time I will remember this). I only had to push for 50 minutes and I was so excited at that point that I kept asking the doctor and nurse when I could push again! He was such a beautiful newborn, and we fell in love with him instantly. When they put him on my chest he stretched really hard, poor kid was cramped inside for so long! He was 8 pounds exactly and 20 and 3/4 inches long ( with a cone head). We are so excited to continue to watch him grow and to see where life will lead him.
