I thought I was having contractions about 10 minutes apart on Wednesday morning, but the hospital monitor said 4, so I got a lovely epidural. We arrived around 7.30 and were all set up by 8.15. My parents came and we all watched some movies and TV until about 3, when I felt the urge to push. They let me push about 3.30 and 6 minutes later, James came out! We were thinking he was about 8 pounds, but the scale showed a bit more...10 pounds, 7 ounces!

James arrived at 3.36 pm on March 24, 2010. 10 lbs, 7 oz and 21 inches long.
