So, after 9+ months of waiting, we finally had our little boy! Malik James Bates was born June 14th, at 10:52 am. He was 8lbs 13 oz and 21.5 inches long. I went into the hospital at 4am on Sunday morning and was already dialated to a 6! So, I very quickly got my epidural, and it was a breeze from there! I pushed for 2 hours, but probably would have only had to push half the time, but he was sunnyside up (face up)! Donovan was great and helped me the whole time and cut the cord. He even had bad abdominal cramps that night because he was unconciuosly pushing with me!
We are home now, and I am pretty exhausted. Donovan goes back to work tomorrow and I am sad about that, butit must happen.
I am going to insert a bunch of pictures now. I hope everyone enjoys them! He is a really cute, pleasant baby!
