my baby boy has arrived!

After a long night of pretty much laboring at home cus I was scared that the hospital wouldn't admit me if I went to early I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy. His name is Eli Jordan weighing a measley 5lbs15oz and 20" long with a full head of hair! I was in labor about 9 hours and only 4 of which were at the hospital I got an epidural shortly after arriving cus I was already 5 cm and boy was that great!! My son finally latched on and is breast feeding pretty good now I'm so proud and happy. I wish you all future moms a happy healthy and safe delivery!

He's only an oz under 6 lbs the nurses say he's small but he's still in an ok weight range I was 39 weeks exactly, I was pretty small and only gained about 22 lbs the whole pregnancy. But baby is happy and healthy I was pretty suprised at how tiny he came out aswell cuz my last ultrasound he measured 6lbs 9oz 3weeks ago, but that just goes to show they can be inaccurate
