Apparently I'm not very good at determining when I'm in labor. James and I went out to Continental Divide for dinner Sunday evening. The moment I sat down I became very uncomfortable but was determined to stick it out. Being in labor never crossed my mind until the pain grew worse. Nevertheless, we ate our dinner and then took the dogs for a hike. After laying down for awhile, James decided it was worth going to the hospital to be evaluated. I was convinced I was not in labor and not looking forward to wasting a night at the hospital.
Lo and behold, when I arrived I was already 5cm dilated! Luckily the epidural was administered within the hour. And after 5 and a half hours of pushing, Mr. Finnegan Javier Hansen was born! He weighed in at 7lbs 14.8oz and 97th percentile head circumference! James did very well and didn't pass out! Cursing was kept to a minimum until the last 10 minutes. We're very happy to have Finn with us!
He is so handsome, especially in his jaunty blue cap. Very nice pictures and impressive that you managed to get them on line so quickly. Don't forget the Blanch/McElfresh household is always here for all of you
