Henry James Wyatt is born!

Originally due on 11/28 and all motherly predictions pointing to an early delivery - our son FINALLY decided to show up on 12/5 - a day before I was to be induced. We visited our OBGYN the morning of the 4th and had an ultrasound to check on him since he was so late. He was fine and the tech predicted a 9 pound+ baby. We didn't believe her.Contractions started at 6pm Tuesday (at chipotle, where else?). My mom was summoned to watch over Liberty at 8:30pm. We labored at home until 3am, then met our midwife at the hospital. I was 6.5 cm when I checked in. Walked around and labored some more and got the epidural at 8cm. Had Henry at 9:43am. It was a really wonderful birth experience. Everything went as we had hoped and unlike Liberty's somewhat stressful entry into the world - Henry was very healthy and got to bond with us for an hour before the nurses took him from my arms for bath/shots/etc. 9 pounds 2 ounces, 20.5 inches (which we think is an under measurement because at his week checkup he was 21.5 - I doubt he grew an inch in a week! He was 9 7oz at 6 days old. He has the same STRAWBERRY hair as Liberty and the same BLUE EYES. He's pretty adorable and not a fussy baby. Liberty is over the moon at having our baby finally here - she has been nothing but 100% loving and helpful - not one tear shed or tantrum thrown. Henry fits right in and we love him like crazy.

Liberty Ann Wyatt BORN 4/7/2010

9 pounds, 22 inches

Born at 5:01pm on Wednesday, 4/7/10

We've been home since Friday and have so enjoyed these first few days with our daughter! She is a good nurser, sleeper and has adorable moments of just being alert and following our voice around with open eyes. She really looks like Cameron's newborn photos and weight/length were the same! We were scheduled to be induced on Wednesday morning, but went into the hospital early because labor had started on its own - everything progressed nicely and Cameron was a A+ coach. Thanks for all the well wishes...it was a wonderful pregnancy, labor, delivery and the first week as new parents has been a dream.
