Finn Alexander is Here!

M. here posting on Sacha's account just to confuse you.

I haven't yet had time to read any of your many, many comments posted since Saturday, but wanted to update you all....

Our beautiful Finn Alexander arrived Monday at 10:53 AM after a long hard labor ending in a c-section. We worked very hard to bring him here and Sacha was a total rock star. We're so in love with our son.

Here are his stats:
Birthdate: April 2, 2007
Weight: 7.8 oz

Length 19.25 in

No time to post details or pics yet. I'm just home tonight so I can sleep through the night since I have to go to a stupid mandatory unemployment thing first thing in the morning in order to not lose my benefits - UGH. Then it's back to the hospital to get packed up and discharged later in the afternoon followed by Finn's first car ride home.

Birth story and pics to follow as soon as we can as we know many of you are anxious for the dirt.

Parting words? Serious post baby sleep deprivation REALLY sucks. I mean really. I can't tell you how much work it was to compose this post right now.

Woohoo!! Thank you SO much for posting, I was so worried about you three! Oh man, I can't believe poor Sacha had a C-section after all of that. What a trooper!! I can't wait to see pictures.

So, do you guys have an address that your Internet buddies can send loot to? E-certificates are good with me if you don't. Just e-mail me with it when you have (snort) a free moment!

Congratulations!!

When you are really set on a non-medicalized birth, the c-section can really cause a lot sadness to get mixed in with your happiness. If Sacha needs someone to vent with about the c-section, send me an email with your phone # and I'll ring you up.

*Love to all three of you*

Congrats!!

I hope you enjoy your first day home. If you have family over, Ask them to do all the cooking and cleaning and just stay cuddled up with your new son.

Isn't it just amazing staring at their new little face!!!

Congratulations!!!
Too bad it ended in a c-section, but enjoy little Finn! We had this name under consideration, but friends have already taken it...

Hope the pain is not too bad, but yes, it will go away (I've been there - planned homebirth that ended in a c-section). And I hope the disappointment about the birth experience is not too bad.

Welcome to the world, Finn! Hope you enjoy the ride.
