He's finally here!! Cooper James

NicoleD0516 · November 2011

After 2.5 days of labor, Cooper James Dyal was born yesterday at 1:42 pm after 45 minutes of pushing. He weighed a whopping 9lbs 2oz and is 21 inches long. He latched right away and fed for an hour. He is a feeding champ. I have a minor second degree tear which is nothing for pushing out a 9.2lb baby in 45 minutes.
My water ended up starting to leak Sunday around noon. I had contractions all day but they were 5 to 10 minutes apart. It was midnight when I woke with a huge contraction and gush. I ended up with an epidural. I had already been in labor for over two days at that point. I didn't progress at all in two days I had been in labor, I mean zero progression. They started pitocin and I went from 3 to 8 in an hour. Because it was over 18 hours from the time water broke to delivery I need to stay till tomorrow.
I am on my iPad and will post a pic when we get home tomorrow.
I can't tell you how happy I am he's finally here. I am so in love with this (not so) little guy.
