he's here!!

So our little guy finally arrived, late, but at least he came. And I must say, he made quite an entrance. To begin with, he decided to come during the only ice storm we've had in centuries (ok, that's how it seems) so we had no family or friends there at all. Luckily we got there right before the ice hit and got released right when it melted!! The labor was pretty long when I think about it, but the only part that was so bad was the last 3 hours when I was struggling and a little unsure about this whole drug free thing!!! But I made it and upon arriving into this world he squeezed his big ol head thru my you know what and was plopped onto my belly, slime and all. When they threw him on me the nurse ran to the speaker and called for help because he had meconium (he pooped in the birth canal) and he was all purple. The midwife said he wasnt breathing and I said - get him off me and fix him!! Right then he started screaming and let everyone know he was just messin around. Then they handed me a towel and we start cleaning him and he peed on me!! So all this really wasnt that dramatic but those 3 minutes were pretty eventful. They also told us there was something wrong with his rib cage and it either had a little deformity or was "assymetrical" but it turns out the poor guy was just all squished up from coming thru that tiny birth canal. So that is our birth adventure, I will spare the details of labor other than it was a somewhat long birth and he was OP (backwards). I did make it without drugs and am real proud of that but I"m not sure I"d do it again!! I will post more adventures of our first few nights soon!
