I've been gone about a week now after an extremely intense time trying to bring my son into the world, and now he is here! I labored at home with my midwife, who ended up causing complications with her interventions, was transferred to the hospital after 20 hours of labor and 3 hours of pushing. He was wedged crooked in the birth canal... actually, I don't want to go into detail about all the complications, but we had a beautiful ceaserian birth and spent two days in the hospital. We both did so well they let us go home early. Jonah is a week old today, and so beautiful! thanks so much for all the well wishes, and i look foreward to posting about my beautiful boy! Jonah Sailor Gray arrived April 26, 2007 at 3:41 p.m. He weighed 7 lbs. 7 oz He has light brown hair and bluish purple eyes

Congratulations! I'm glad to see you picked out a name, I remember a discussion about this a few weeks ago. I'm sorry to hear the problems you had during birth, but am very glad things worked out okay. I had problems when I had my son and I think it makes me appreciate him even more, plus it makes for a good story. Congratulations, MOM! :)

Congrats Congrats!!!! I am sorry you had a rough time. It is too bad the midwife caused problems. Thank God you were able to go and deliver at the hospital and everything turned out so well. Again - Congrats!! I have said a prayer for blessings for your baby.

Congratulations on the birth of your baby boy!! Was this your first child? I had complications after the birth of my first child. But eventually I went on to have a second child 3 1/2 years later. It was all worth it! Enjoy that new baby boy. They grow up way too fast!
