on March 5 at 12:20 pm, little Zoey entered the world and made us a family. She weighed in at 5 lbs 3 oz, 18.5 inches long. The delivery went well enough (easy for me to say), after the pushing had started, though getting there was a little rocky due to Britney's extreme needle phobia and some adverse chemical reactions - magnesium makes your skin feel like it's on fire, and if your epidural works too well, and they turn it off for a while, there is a chance that it might not work that well when they turn it back, and you'll have the full experience of a natural birth on half of your uterus.
But, all in all, everything went fine (but what do i know, being the moral support/annoying camera guys is the easy part), i got to cut the cord, and watch the birth. And, by the way, watching the birth is TOTALLY AWESOME. i've heard that it grosses some people out, but . . . seriously. if you get the chance, i highly recommend it.
so, now we've been home for a couple of days, working out the eating sleeping schedule. i have embraced my roll as diaper changer, Brit has embraced her roll as lunch box and we're just having an over all good (if sometimes sleepless) time.
