Welcome to the world, Little Man

Wyatt Hayes was born at 11:01pm Thursday 18 June. He weighed 8lbs 12oz and measured 19.5 inches. He appears to be completely healthy.
Compared to Maggie’s birth, Wyatt’s was much closer to the movie stereotype. Erin woke me up at 10:45pm in a little bit of a panic because her water had just broke. We had been instructed by the midwife to head straight to the hospital in that event. So, we hurriedly gathered our prepared bags and headed out the door. Erin wasn’t experiencing any contractions and didn’t really start until after we arrived. To make a long story short, nothing really happened until after induction medicine was administered. Even then, the real action didn’t start until the evening. Erin was in a lot of pain, so she asked if there were any alternatives to an epidural. We opted for something called Nubain to ease the pain. It really did the trick; Erin was able to get about 30-45 minutes of rest. That was from 9:30-10:15 tonight. Then came the hard work of pushing, which obviously didn’t last too long.
Anyway, we are way tired, so look for me here in the next few days.
