Our Little April Fool You Baby!

Simon Eugen Weltin arrived 7 minutes past midnight on April 1st, 2010 (an April Fool's baby and sharing his birthday with his Swiss Grandfather!) after a very long home labor (28 plus hours of hard labor) and a short delivery at the hospital. He was 7#9.5 ounces, 20 inches long and 13 inch head circumference-not the giant baby I had been anticipating. He was in there kinda of funny, head facing up, instead of down and then tilted to the side-this makes for a long labor and we needed a bit of extra help in the end to get him out, while he was still a happy camper and tolerating labor well. I am happy with all the support we had and think both the labor and the delivery were incredible experiences-apparently we just had to do it all, since we are only doing it once.

All dressed and ready to go home!
