9 lb 8 oz
length 21.5 in
head 14.5 in
Much longer labor than Maggie, much bigger baby.
We only got four hours sleep the night before because![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tygerr came by to cheer Laura up ("it's going to be weeks until I have this baby"). We did some hottubbing in the birthing tub since it was scheduled for a drain and fill Sunday anyway. So this triggered Murphy's Law--by the time I got the tub filled Laura was having real contractions. Wound up taking out pots of water and boiling them on the stove to speed up the warming. The midwife and apprentices arrived and things went well but slowly until Jamie arrived.
Now we're alternating sleep with getting the word out. I'm going to try for another nap.

Date: 2003-12-15 09:38 am (UTC)You did it! You did it!
You said that you would do it;
And indeed you did.
I thought that you would rue it;
I doubted you'd do it.
But now I must admit it
That succeed you did.
You should get a medal
Or be even made a knight ..."
Well, hope you get a good NIGHT's sleep, soon. And with some
regularity.

Date: 2003-12-15 10:23 am (UTC)The proud but exhausted mother called me this morning to pass the news along, and I've sent it to the ST list and the Caid list at her request. I know you're tired, bleary, and from what understand, way too tired of doughnuts .
We're looking forward to the first pictures.
