He's here!

edited November -1 in Pregnancy and Babies
I will post birth story and pictures in the coming days, but baby Elliott was delivered safely at 11:30pm on Monday night!
He was delivered after 38 hours of labor (brought on naturally when her water broke Sunday morning), pitocin when things stalled, baby beginning to struggle, and an utterly exhausted mama deemed it necessary. Thankful for that decision when it was found that he had two loops of his cord around his neck preventing him from moving into position properly.
He is perfect in every way, and he and mama are doing great. He latched immediately and loves to nurse!
Our sweet boy has arrived after TTC'ing for 4 years!
