Our son is here!

Our baby is here!

Our son was born July 11, 2008, at 6:07am. He weighed in at 4075 grams (9 lbs) and was approx 48 cm (19 inches) long!  The labor was a short and intensive 3 hours.  We've not decided on a name yet and we will post that when we finally do decide. We have 3 months to decide so it may take some time.  Today, Saturday, my milk came in and he is now happily nursing many hours of the day away.

Freja and Vidar are giving him space, but watching him curiously and talking about what he does (sleeping or nursing usually heheh). They seem happy to have a baby brother as far as we can tell though.

I'm beat and recovering from the birth. I will probably be offline for a week or so, though I can use the laptop to check email from time to time as I feel up to it.
