Jack is here!

Had a horrible time getting him out as I don't deal with cervical pressure well at all nor back pain. Well, any pain, really, but I have scoliosis so especially not back pain. The epidural had stopped being helpful quite a bit ago and they wouldn't provide IV painkillers because his heart rate dropped when I pushed and it wasn't worth the risk.
I got here at 1 pm yesterday and he was born around half past nine this morning. His daddy, my aunt (also birth coach), and daddy's parents were here. My aunt and daddy's parents stuck with us every step until little Jack is born.
So now he is napping in all his cuteness, we've successfully breastfed once and will be trying very hard to continue breastfeeding. Hopefully exclusively breastfeeding, but sleep happens lol. Daddy is out cold as well, he'd only had 30 minutes of sleep this whole time, and I'll soon be napping as well.
Hope everybody has a good go of it!
