3 1/2 hours of pushing.
Born at 7:53 pm on August 5.
8 lbs, 7 oz.
21 inches long.
37 cm head full of long wavy brown hair.
1 min APGAR: 10.
5 min APGAR: unable to asses, because baby was latched on and chowing down.
Since birth, he has been alert and fascinated with any new sounds or new things that cross his visual field. At 2 minutes old, he was pulling his head off my chest to see where Daddy's voice was coming from. I believe we have this on video, but it involves nipplage, so you'll never see it.
He has yet to cry for more than 30 seconds, except for the first diaper application which was, apparently, much more traumatic for him than the birth.
He slept from 11:20 last night until 5 this morning, then from 6am to 11am, then from 11:45am until 4:45pm. A little redemption for yesterday I suppose (the midwife says this won't happen again until he's 16)
And now for the pictures!
This is Mama's first picture. Taken with my phone, while he was on my chest at a couple of minutes old. I was amazed at how clean he was (except for his hair), and how huge. If I weren't so tired, I'd edit out my pasty legs, but, you know...
A happy awake picture.
A sweet sleeping picture taken at 24 hours old.And now we all go back to bed. Any bets on what we get this time? 2 hours? 3?

Yay! Welcome! (And sorry about the name-slip in my now-deleted comment. My only excuse was sleep-deprivation, but I should certainly know better.)
Well done! He's beautiful.
