H.
(He will get a better pseudonym soon…)
Born June 3, 2008, at 4:08 am, weighing 7lbs 14oz. Long. Ass. Labor. We were admitted at noon on the 2nd, and H. was born…well, you can do the math.
Way, way too much of that time was spent pushing. I can say no more about that right now, except you people who’ve had multiple children? You astound me.
GB just went home to sleep, finally, and H is on his way back from the nursery, so here’s a quick picture and I’ll post more later…

(Yep…he has reddish hair!)

Congratulations!!!!
The Yogini said I was crazy to keep checking for updates, but alas, it is she who is crazy.
You are amazing! Your son is beautiful and perfect, and we haven’t even met yet. Love love love love love love love love and then some more and a few hugs.
June 3, 2008 at 9:58 am
I did seriously consider liveblogging the birth. Well, parts of it. I had to convince myself that was a little insane.
Skycat, can’t wait for you to meet your godson!
June 3, 2008 at 10:16 am
congratulations! He is adorable! Sorry about the long labor, but what a perfect and beautiful little H. at the end!
June 3, 2008 at 10:32 am
Oh honey, gorgeous!! Congratulations!
June 3, 2008 at 10:35 am
Yay! You didn’t die! (Is that a terrible and morbid thing to say? I know you were very worried about it. And look! You’re fine! And so is he. YAY!)
Congratulations!
June 3, 2008 at 10:41 am
Congratulations! He’s gorgeous! And you made it, safe & sound!! Yay!!
June 3, 2008 at 10:49 am
as dr. brazen hussy points out, no death. hooray! congratulations!
He looks gorgeous. you have no idea how many times I’ve checked this site for updates
June 3, 2008 at 10:55 am
He’s just beautiful!!!!!!!! Congratulations to you all.
June 3, 2008 at 11:31 am
Congratulations, Mom!! I’m tearing up right now… Your labor sounds a LOT like mine was: I was admitted at 10:00AM (after my water broke, so they induced) and she wasn’t born until 3:18AM (with over 2 hours of pushing). The only reason I can think about doing it again is that it’s been almost 9 years and my memories have faded! Congratulations- I’m ecstatic for you! He is a beautiful baby.
June 3, 2008 at 11:37 am
Congratulations! That’s a proud belly he’s displaying there. Is he waving with his left hand? I think so!
June 3, 2008 at 11:51 am
He’s beautiful! Congratulations!
June 3, 2008 at 11:57 am
Congratulations! He is beautiful and has such good coloring! I was in labor for 22 hours with my son and 10 with my daughter so I feel ya on the way too long labor/pushing parts. But you did it, you rock!
June 3, 2008 at 12:00 pm
yay! Congratulations!
June 3, 2008 at 12:15 pm

That’s awesome. We really need to get him a cool blogger name!
June 3, 2008 at 1:32 pm
What a little honey! He’s not only beautiful, but he looks like he’s thinking some thoughts there.

Congratulations! Yay!

me too! congratulations!
June 4, 2008 at 6:56 pm
I love his read hair and his little expression. He already looks like he has a distinct personality. What a beautiful child.
Sorry about the long labor.
June 5, 2008 at 11:08 am
He is incredibly adorable!!! Sorry labor sucked. I hated it too. I was admitted at 7 a.m. on January 11; Boy was born at 5:06 a.m. January 12. After a c-section. So you did better than me – I couldn’t deliver my son through the proper channel without it nearly killing him!
Congrats to you, GB, and little H. Welcome to “familyhood.”
June 5, 2008 at 1:27 pm
Wonderful! Welcome to the world, H! Congratulations, Luckybuzz and GB!! Have fun – and may you also have sleep…
June 5, 2008 at 9:22 pm
This is belated, but congratulations, and he’s SO beautiful! He looks so serene and calm and unwrinkly for a newborn!
June 8, 2008 at 7:39 am
YAY FOR H! What a sweet and beautiful little boy. He’s absolutely gorgeous, and I for one am looking so forward to what I am sure will be excellent H stories on the blog!
June 8, 2008 at 9:43 am
Welcome to the world, H! Congratulations!
June 8, 2008 at 4:05 pm
i’ve been away, i’m so amazingly happy for you all, and H is just really sweet looking. remember to nap whenever he does, for sanity, which decreases with time.
pain, yes. then amnesia. how we continue to reproduce.
June 10, 2008 at 8:15 pm
Congrats!!! So happy you all did so well!
June 11, 2008 at 4:04 pm
Congrats! I don’t know you but trust me I kept thinking of you. To think I’ll be the one pushing in Dec., but for now I’ll keep pushing the dissertation out of the way before my little parasite arrives,too.Hahaha only in the introduction.
Well, lady best wishes in this perpetual chapter of your life.
Sending you good thoughts,
Rita
