Birth Announcement
I really had intended to post a specific birth announcement last night but ran out of steam! So here are the specifics (well, I won't give TOO many...)
Christopher Thomas arrived Friday at 1:08 pm. He weighed in at 7 pounds, 10 oz, the biggest of our babies yet. He has dark fuzzy down hair (just a little) and dark eyes like most of the other kids and he's is so cute!
We got to the hospital around 7:30 in the morning, the dr. broke my water at noon, and he was born about an hour later =) I was bound and determined to forgo the epidural this time b/c although it's a beautiful thing in the middle of hard labor, I never like the annoyance of the recovery (which for me is dull achy pain around the needle site for a couple of weeks). So I managed to go drug free. And let me just say that it was the worst 15 or 20 minutes of pain, but now that I'm home I'm feeling better at this stage of the game than I usually am. And I'm really happy not to be pregnant! Except I can't find anything to fit (I hate the idea of wearing maternity clothes after the baby arrives ). So I'm living in sweats and looking oh so unattractive, but people make allowances for the first month or two

Hi,
I got this link from Jennifer M. at Wakefield. I enjoy reading your posts - uplifting! It is nice to hear someone talk the way we live it at home with the kids in a way that is comforting and compassionate. Thanks~
Praying you are feeling much more comfortable in clothing these days - congrats on number six! Many blessings, Christie

It's been a while since I've been by your blog but CONGRATS! on your new baby. How is he doing? I went natural with #4 and, if the Lord should bless us again, I'll go natural again. I did have to get pit (that's some nasty stuff) but still went w/out an epi. The recovery is so much quicker w/out the epidural and this baby was so much more alert than our first three.
Praising Him,
Kim

Congratulations on the new baby! I hadn't been following your blog for a while. I just finally got back to reading other bloggers since my baby is now 9 months old! Boy does it go fast!
It sounds like your labor/delivery was a breeze compared to my friends who have just had babies in the last few months! Mine all come by c-section because my first two babies went breech! I so admire and love to hear women's birth stories. Each birth is usually so different!
Got any pictures?
God bless you and congratulations!
Jen
