my beautiful son, Samuel Dean, was born. It took 14 1/2 hours, but it was all worth it. At first he didn't cry or anything which was very scary, but he is alright now & perfectly healthy which is all that matters. Anyways, he weighs 8 lbs. 9 oz., is 20 1/2 inches long & was born at 8:09 as well. Just thought I'd let everyone know the news.

Oh ps. to anyone who was wondering if I ended up getting the epidural or not, I did. If any other pregnant women are wondering if an epidural is worth it or not, IT SO IS & no it doesn't hurt like a lot of people say, trust me I'm a chicken when it comes to that stuff & I thought it was nothing.

Congrats!!!!!! I am sooo happy for you. You sound like you handled childbirth like a champ.
I am due on March 3rd and am so anxious. I cannot wait to meet my baby boy. I am also scared, worried and all other emotions wrapped up in one.

I hope you and your little boy are making out wonderfully. I wish you all the best.

Jennie.
