Baby and I are just resting a lot here. He doesn't like being set down. I feel kind of weak, like getting over the flu, without the feeling sick part, a little sore, still a sore back but otherwise doing great. Oh, and very very sore boobs. They are giant engorged cantelopes today! But hopefully that will only be for a day or two. 
Hugh is doing great too. Lots of sleeping, nursing and diaper changing. But also really neat times when he's awake and looking around. So happy!
My mother in law has been here, and she's been great chasing my 2 year old around, cleaning house and cooking dinner. 
I miss my mom. It's been driving her crazy that she hasn't been able to come. The day I was delivering she found out the bronchitis she couldn't get over is a MRSA infection. She's getting the right treatment now though.

He's here. Took all day, started at 2am, he was born at 6:30 pm. 
Hugh is 8lbs, 5 oz, 20 3/4 inches. I can only image how big he'd be if he wasn't 3 weeks early! 
Healthy baby boy. Vaginal delivery with pitocin and epidural. First time no episiotomy or tears for me. Yay! We're doing good. he just had his bath.



STILL waiting on little guy! Longest labor ever. 9 centimeters dilated now though! Can't wait to hold him and also very excited that I'll get to eat dinner! (Haven't eaten since 2am) had an epidural, otherwise I would NOT be on my phone. Ha

My water just broke, headed to hospital. Contractions are still mild and 30+ minutes apart though.
