He's here!

Here's a summary of the day's events:
Epidural - 9:30 a.m.
Pitocin - 10 a.m.
Water Broken - 1 p.m.
Baby delivered - 6:10 p.m.

Connor Stephan is 8 lbs 12 oz & 21" long. He is a big boy!!

I'm so tired, but so thankful to have a healthy baby. Leah visited for a few minutes & she loves her baby brother. She wanted to check out his fingers and his belly. Then, she gave him kisses (or in her words - "I give him sugars"). She really does seem intrigued, but happy to see us and her brother. She cried when she had to leave and I heard her saying "stay with mommy & daddy" the whole way down the hall. It broke my heart, but I know we will have plenty of time together in the days ahead.

I feel tired and I am trying to keep up with the pain management. I'm thrilled to already be able to be up and walking without too much pain. It's more just feeling kind of weak.

Jesse is a proud daddy. He has had some good "holding" time with Connor. He is going home to get some rest & my mom is going to stay tonight.

Well, it appears Connor is hungry and wants his momma!! So, I need to run. Thanks for all of your well wishes and prayers.

Much love,
Anna
