Introducing...

Blake Steven Dodds made his appearance into the world this morning at 11:52 am.

It was a very long, tough, and medicated labor, but we are very blessed that we did not have to have a c-section or episiotomy.

He's 7 lbs, 8 oz, and 19 3/4 inches long. Absolutely perfect and beautiful in every way! Pictures and the story to come.

For now? Cuddling, snuggling and resting.

  2. Congratulations!! :o) Enjoy everything! I'm so glad you didn't need any major interventions, either! A c-section's not the end of the world by any means, but it's sure not ideal! I couldn't eat anything solid for 48 hours! Not cool! Enjoy the food, like Rachel says! He's beautiful; I love the pics by his proud grandparents on facebook! Don't worry about updating or uploading too quickly. You enjoy that newborn time!
