Our sweet little boy, Dylan James arrived Saturday morning! Here are his stats:
Born 12/27 at 11:01am
8lbs 0oz
20-3/4 inches long
He arrived 3 days late via VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) and everything went beautifully - just an amazing experience! I was most likely in early labor all day Friday, 12/26, but contractions really started while we were out to dinner with John, Kyla, my dad, my brother John, my sister-in-law Kathy and my nephew and niece Aaron and Emily. Luckily they were not too painful and I was able to enjoy my dinner at Waterloo. Afterwards, we went outside to the Christmas light-show and music. I danced for about 45 minutes with Kyla, Aaron and Emily before needing to leave as the contractions were 2-4 minutes apart. We got home called the doctor and went to the hospital at around 8-9pm. I was in labor for about 17 hours total (from the 6pm start at dinner) and thankfully had an epidural for almost all of it.
We are so in love with our son and can't wait for him to meet all our family and friends. Here are a few pictures of our little guy.
