And now, for the post we've all been waiting for...
Marshall Barry Dawson arrived on January 5th at 2:38 pm. He weighted 8 lbs, 11 oz and is 20.75 inches long. My labor started at 3:00 am on Monday morning (I didn't need an induction afterall!) and by the time we made it to Northside at 5:30 am I was already 4.5 cm dilated! The labor and delivery went pretty quick and better than we could have asked for. He's already had lots of visitors and is adjusting well to the world outside my belly!
Right now we are waiting for discharge from the hospital. They think we will be going home around 6:00 tonight. Marshall is doing fabulous. He is quite a hungry little guy. We are both trying to learn how to breastfeed but seem to be getting better as time goes on. He makes sweet noises and the cutest faces. We are officially in love!
Here are a few pictures from the last few days.
