Ridley Joseph Knight

This is about 6 weeks overdue but...
He finally came! About a week after the due date.. little turd. I went in to the hospital around 9:30ish pm on thursday, June 27th. I had been having painless contractions every 5 minutes for about 24 hours. I was only 3 to 4 cm, so they had me walk around for about an hour to see if I progressed. I didn't really. So they said I could either go home, or stay and they could induce me. I was scheduled to be induced the next saturday anyway, and I knew if I went home I'd just have to go back. So we decided to stay and be induced. Which they ended up not having to do, because around midnight, (I think... not sure where all that time went..) my contractions were getting pretty bad. My mom showed up around 1am. When they checked me again I was still only 5ish cm. If I'm remembering correctly... it's all very blurry. I said to heck with this, give me an epidural! My word. Those are absolutely necessary if you ask me. I thought I wanted to try it natural, but no way. It just took way way too long. After pushing for about an hour, he was born at 8:10am on friday morning, June 28th.
7 lbs, 14 oz, 20 inches long.
He was so awake and alert and happy to be outta there!
He's definitely the cutest newborn I've ever seen, I mean am I right??
