Gideon Alexander is here!

Luvvy1 · December 2011

We went in to triage Monday evening because my BP went sky high. They decided to induce me that night. Gideon was born, sunny side up at 4:17pm tuesday afternoon and weighing in at 7lb-7oz I won't scare you with the details but it was horrible and so worth it. I'm so glad he is here now and we are on the mend. I got a 2nd degree tear and his poor scalp is tore up from my pelvis. And the anesthesiologist punctured my dura during the Epi, so I am mandated to lay flat as much as possible until it can heal and I stop leaking spinal fluid. Not that I can really function otherwise anyway.

Our first night home was tough (last night) and all he wants to so is be attached to my boob. Mommy and daddy are flipping exhausted.
