He is Here!

Bennett Samuel made a surprisingly pleasant arrival Thursday at 3:15 am.  We were almost positive he wouldn't come for at least another week.  He is 7 lbs 3 oz and 18 1/4 inches long.  We just love him.  We are all doing great.



More pics and birth story to come. 

Spoiler alert... I had him natural and that was for sure the furthest thing from my mind but I guess Bennett just wanted to come here quicker than they could give me the epidural.  My doctor almost missed the birth but made it just in time 2-3 minutes before his arrival.  Fun times!!

What a amazing story! Those dumb nurses! You're a rockstar though! You now realize that you can't go back now right? Once you have one natural, you have to do them all that way! :) Hope you're easing into parenthood and enjoying your new baby. He is so cute! You will be awesome parents!
