After our appointment Friday we expected to be waiting at least a few more days, but I woke up Saturday morning with contractions! Things progressed slowly throughout the morning, and because my water broke early, we headed to the hospital at 4:00pm expecting to need Pitocin to speed things up. To our surprise, I was already 5 centimeters dilated and well on my way to delivering our little man. After a few hours of bearable labor, a few hours of hard labor and a little over an hour of pushing, Caden Spiers Almy was born at 12:56am, Sunday, December 7th, 2008.
8lbs 8oz
21-1/4 inches long
We've been at home since mid-day Monday and we're all very tired. Dad has been a real trooper, and has slept the least of all, so remember him when you lay your head down tonight - he needs some rest. Updates to follow!
