Meet Leif, born last night. Here he is with his mom (that’s me!) and big brother.
Induction was quick and easy (A+ would do again!). Took a while to get started, but once they broke my water, he was out 3 hours later after about 10 minutes of pushing. He’s a whole pound heavier than S was (8lb, 2.5oz), but seems to be very healthy so far.
We feel so lucky and happy to welcome this new little life to our family.
The Pregnant Physicist 
Yay!!!! Congratulations!!! So happy he is here and healthy! And he’s beautiful and so alert!!! Can’t wait for more updates!!
Thank you! We are very happy he’s here too! 🙂 Wishing you the best in your last few weeks!
Oh my goodness! What beautiful amazing news! Congratulations to all of you. What an incredible blessing after such a long journey. I’m so happy for you all.
Thank you! He is an incredible blessing indeed! We are very lucky.
He’s gorgeous!! You all look so cute and happy. Congratulations!! I’m glad you had a great birth. He weighed exactly the same as my last baby. 🙂
Aw, thank you! It was a pretty great birth (I mean, you know, as “great” as birth can be). We are very happy that he’s arrived safely!
Wonderful!
Indeed! 🙂 Thanks!
Congratulations!!
Thank you! We are very happy!
Congrats! And what a happy photo this is. All the best to your beautiful family!
Thank you! Our older son has been so sweet with the baby so far. Let’s hope that it continues… forever. 🙂
Congratulations! It is always such a relief to have them here, safe and sound in our arms. It’s a bonus he is just absolutely adorable. Also what a great book to be reading!
Thanks! Several of my friends also commented on the reading material — I hadn’t even noticed it was in the picture. I did read a fair amount of it during labor (both during the start of the induction and post-epidural). I recommend it as a labor book. 🙂
I can’t see the title of the book even when I zoom in and I’m super curious!
Heh. 🙂 It’s To Kill a Mockingbird.
Woo hoo!!!!!!! Congratulations! I’m so happy he is here safely. I hope you are adjusting to life in your newly expanded family. Your sons look perfect together (and you look fabulous as well).
Thank you!!! So far we are all doing great. S is being an outstanding big brother. L is eating, peeing, pooping… and occasionally sleeping. Just as a baby should. We are very grateful that things have been going so well!
I clearly have not been on here in a while. What wonderful news!!! Congratulations! 🧡
Thank you! I’m typing one-handed while he snoozes on my lap. We are so grateful!
Congratulations! So happy for you! Welcome, Leif!
Thank you! It’s been a very happy (and sleepy) week!
