Mommy & Daddy are excited to announce...

Blake Richard Wagner was born at 5:10pm on April 1st! He weighed 6 lbs 7 oz and was 19 3/4" long. Blake and I made a good team for labor and delivery. It went very smoothly and was over in 14 1/2 hours. To sum it up, water broke and contractions started at 3:30 am, got petocin at 11 pm, got an epidural at 2 pm and started pushing at 4 pm. I held out on the epidural as long as I could and I think I got it just in time. I was actually completely dilated at 3 pm but needed to sit up straight for about an hour so he would move down a little bit before starting to push. No episiotomy or tearing, I got lucky I guess.

Blake loves to suck his thumb, that is basically all he has done so far when he's been awake! And he makes those loud sucking noises every once in a while too. Well, Blake is sleeping soundly so I better get some sleep too while I can.
