Travis George Griffith was (finally!) born this morning (April 1st) at 12:02AM. I did get my April Fool's Day baby. He's 8lbs 4oz and absolutely beautiful. I am so in love!
It took a long time to get things going, but it was worth it. I am not even kidding when I say that this labor was almost completely free of pain from start to finish. They kept thinking nothing was happening because even though my contractions showed up on the monitor I was still smiling and laughing and cheerful. By the time they checked me anyway I was dilated to 6. I got the epidural and a few hours of napping later I was fully dilated. 11pain free (but effort-filled) minutes later he was born. I'm really quite blown away by how easy the birth was. It was a pretty nice April Fools Day surprise.
