Good news - Maxwell Hunter was born on Sunday evening. He decided that the best way to celebrate his dad's birthday was to share it with him, so April 23rd will be a very full day in our household forever more. The labour and delivery went very smoothly. I went into labour at 6am, got an epidural around noon, and started pushing at 5:30pm. Max was out by 5:46pm. Goodness! 7 pounds 10 ounces and 20 inches long.
The day was actually amazing. We called
Jennifer at 7am to tell her that "it was time" and miracle of miracles, she made it from Ottawa to the hospital by 10am. She and Scott were awesome support and they spent the day helping me manage the pain until I got my drugs, and took care of me the whole way. Max is a very sweet baby and we are all looking forward to getting to know him! He is perfect in every way and I can't believe that after 39 weeks and 5 days, he is finally here.

Congratulations! What a sweet boy you have there. LOVE his name (so much so that it's the name of my first boy too). What a wonderful birthday present.
ReplyDeleteI love "easy" labour stories. Congrats! Your son is precious.

ReplyDeleteWhat in the WORLD??? Obviously I know nothing about this stuff... isn't that a long time? 6 AY-EM and started pushing almost 12 hours later?
They wouldn't "let" you push ol' Maxie out before?
I DON'T GET IT! HELP A SISTA!
No wait... answer me later. Get some rest, sis!
P.S. That picture of Maxie in the hat... I LOVE IT.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations you two! Glad it went well. He is such a cutie and you both look incredibly happy.
ReplyDeleteWheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Congrats! Welcome to the world, Max!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS YOU TWO! Can't wait to meet the little guy.
ReplyDeleteOh Soli - Kat's labour was actually super speedy!! I was in labour for 19 hours and pushed for 3 hours. Max clearly knew that he was on his way to awesome parents and didn't want to mess around :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to both of you and Max looks like a bundle of joy!!!
