William Joseph is here!!

Hi All!!!

My contractions started around 6:00 am Friday March 13th and lil' Will arrived at 8:30 that night! He is so perfect and wonderful and I love him so much! He is 8lbs 1 oz and 22 inches long. He has realllllly long legs....

My labor was not too bad with the epidural, I only pushed for about 30 mins, and luckily I only had one small tear. Unfortunately - my blood pressure got a little high and my platlets dropped - so I was diagnosed with asympotomatic pre-eclampsia. Meaning I had no symptoms throughout my pregnancy - it just appeared during labor. So I had to be on 24 hours of Magnesium sulfate...that stuff is awful. You can hardly get out of the bed... much less nurse and spend time with the baby. So that part was bad - but everything turned out ok and we are home and safe and sound... and this is what I am looking at right now...
