The baby is here! He was born Thursday, March 19 at 7:03 pm. We had a really great (albeit intense) birth. I really enjoyed going into labor on my own (I was induced with Ben), not having an IV, letting my water break on its own, etc. I didn't particularly enjoy the back labor, but you can't have it all. I pushed for about 5 minutes and got to help bring him up onto my chest, where he stayed for the next hour or so.
He was 8 lbs 12 oz and 19 1/2" long. His name is Samuel. We love this little guy! We came home from the hospital last night and we're all doing great.

So happy for you, Katrina! Next time you won't even need the midwife--wow! Welcome, Samuel--what a lucky boy to come to a family like yours.
Thank goodness for blogs so we can see your newest perfect little addition! So cute to see him and Ben meeting his brother, albeit through a mask - wow so funny :) I hope you are all getting as much rest as you can while getting to know him. You look amazing for just having given birth (and a tough labor too)!
