Christian joined our family on May 3 at 8:19 am.
He weighs 7 lbs. 11 oz.
He is 20 1/2 inches long.
THE STORY:
May 2
9:00 pm: arrive at the hospital to be induced
May 3
12:00ish am: dilated to a 3; Dr. decides to fore go induction drugs and "strip the heck out of my membranes." (his words--not mine!)
5:00ish am: dilated to a 4 1/2; Dr. breaks water
6:30ish am: dilated to a 5 1/2
7:50 am: dilated to an 8
8:19 am: after pushing for 3 minutes, Christian made his debut
My labor was overseen by the doctor on call but my doctor was able to deliver. Delivering Christian was literally the first thing my doctor did after his return from surgery.

BEAUTIFUL, Diana!!! CONGRATS, CONGRATS!! I don't think I've ever seen a newborn with such light hair! Is that the camera, or do you have a little blondie on your hands? Either way, he is just beautiful. I'm in love, and I haven't even met him yet. Darling name, darling face. Great pictures!! What were his stats? (weight etc.)
CONGRATS AGAIN!!! We are so happy for you guys! :) :) :)

Congrats, I wish I were there to bring ya dinner and hold the little dude!
Oh! Darling! My arms are aching to hold him. I am so happy for you!

Congratulations!!! I love the name! I love the picture of all of your boys - such a treasure!
Oh he is a beautiful babe- delivary seemed painless this time- hooray! I still think about you delivering Anderson. Good luck with three! I am so happy for you!
I have been looking for the big news! I am so glad he made it here! Three boys is FANTASTIC. You will love it...as soon as you catch your breath and figure ways to keep Anderson from smothering him:)
Go figure, he came on his original due date...
He looks like a blondie-Is he? If you need anything just call. I called one day while you were sleeping. Hopefully Mark and your mom have passed along my good wishes to you.
Oh my gosh, he is adorable-faux hawk and all, love it!! Congrats, glad you weren't the first woman to be pregnant your entire life.
