So I had a baby yesterday. Ain't no thang, no biggie, whatevs.
Cole Harper Roth was born 12 days early at 7lbs 5oz and 19.75 inches long. My earliest, heaviest, shortest, and final baby. :-) He was born via VBAC even though I had had a Csection scheduled for the 25th. We got to the hospital though and he had none of the heart-rate issues the other 2 had during labor and once I had an epidural I really felt ok with the progression of labor. So aside from the first few hours pre-epidural and stuck in the triage unit (won't mention that there was any crying involved on my part) and the last 30 seconds of horribleness actually birthing the baby, I had a really good labor that I felt really in control of, so yay! Go Penn Midwives, go baby Cole, GO ME!
and now I get to go home TOMORROW!
Lena said "Wow, he even has more hair then baby Beck does!" upon first sight. hah!

Whew. done. What an ordeal. Thanks for showing up early, little guy!
