My wife gave me the best present early this past Friday: our son was born!
The birth was at our house in a planned home birth (in a birth tub) and everything went great. He's a big fella too: 11 lbs 4 ozs and 24 inches.
For as big as our son is, my wife is doing very well - walking around significantly better than she was able too just hours before the birth.
Thanks for letting me share the good news! :)

Though - an 11 lb 4 oz boy? 24 inches? Dayum! I'm glad the home birth went so well; the very thought of giving birth to that big of a baby makes me whimper. Your wife deserves the sun, moon and stars! :D
Very happy holidays to you and your newly expanded family!

12. I guess I should've included that... |
|
Nathan Dean.
We liked the first name a lot and the middle name is after my wife's Dad. We're calling him Nathan.

Congats, our daughter ( first ( and maybe only :P )) was born on Nov. 5th
No more sleep for you, or I should say consecutive hours of sleep :)

14. Congrats to you Snooper! |
|
Daughters are great - I have 2 of them, and a son. Friday's arrival was no. 4.
You couldn't be more accurate with the sleep either - its the lack of consecutive hours of sleep that catches up with you over the first few weeks.
Best of luck to you and your family!

11 lbs 4 oz and a home birth without epidural??? Your wife is a hero.
Our son was only 3.5 lbs and my epidural failed. Let me tell you, if he would have been over 11 lbs, I would have killed my husband ;)
