Hi Everyone! I'm finally getting the pictures up! I guess I should have showed Jeffrey how to do this... ;) Thanks for all the prayers and support! We feel very blessed to have our little Vincent Montgomery Scallon here with us! Born April 2nd, at 5:17. Weighing 7 lbs 10 oz and length 21". I had a few contractions start around 10pm on Sunday night after we went to bed and told Jeffrey 'I have a feeling it might happen tonight' but the contractions were so mild I tried to relax and get some rest, then my water broke around 12:00 and the contractions came on very fast and hard, so we went to the hospital and was amazed to hear I was 6-7 centimeters dialated already. Praise God because I didn't think I could stand 12+ hours of that! At least not without lots of drugs! haha ;) I hand it to any woman who has given birth, no matter how she did it! But I was happy to be able to labor without pain medication like I had wanted. The pushing took about an hour and was rough, but it was encouraging having Mom and Jeffrey there telling me I was doing so well and 'just a little longer' 'only one more' etc. Our doctor was great and we had competent (if not always friendly) nursing staff. The rudeness of the head nurse will always be a funny story to tell... when I didn't hop up onto the bed when she asked and instead groaned through a contraction, She asked "Does she have a mental condition?" haha! Umm you are a labor nurse right?!?
Well enough labor talk, we're glad it's over and he's here and healthy! Here are a few pictures to enjoy and I have lots more posted up here : http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=2093672157
