Both Crystal and I are exhausted. Crystal pushed for over 3 hours before the doctor requested the use of a vacuum as the baby appeared to be caught up. We both had decided previously we did not want a vacuum to be used, but considering the circumstances and the utter exhaustion and extreme pain Crystal was enduring we opted to go ahead.
Although we knew we were having a boy, we were unprepared for the shock of seeing him for the first time. He's a big boy by his length and weight. He has a full head of long light brown hair. He has Crystal's facial features, but my hands and feet (poor guy!).
Mother and baby are doing well and are resting until Saturday afternoon at the hospital. We will bring him home for the first time on Saturday night.
