psocopteraQuentin Kay Smift, a very nice 8 lbs 14 oz, likes sticking out his tongue.
I guess the endless foot-dragging was my body making *sure* it was all ready, because when it finally went, it *went* - two and a half hours from the start of active labor to birth. (If you average that with the 28 hours last time, it looks like I have nice average-length labors, and thus we see the vital importance of knowing the distribution of your data as well as the mean ::grin::.) We both came out of it in pretty good shape and seem to be doing well so far. I'll try to get a more complete story up in a few days, including the world's best Skype session with Junie this evening. I think Josh is planning to put up some pictures.
I have my BABY!!!
