Benjamin Lee was born on October 28th, 2007 at 6:23am after 28 hours of labor. He weighed 8lbs. 5 oz. and was 21 and a half inches long. He has soft brown hair and long fingers and toes! Ben came into this world a little differently than his momma had planned but both of us are healthy and doing well. We had planned a home birth that went very smoothly until after 2 and a half hours of pushing when my midwife determined he was just not coming down. So I was transported in the back of our Land Cruiser to the hospital. After arriving at the hospital I pushed for another hour or two and then my midwife decided an epidural would relax me and hopefully allow Ben to come down and avoid a C-Section. The epidural was like heaven on earth after pushing painfully for about 5 hours. I was able to sleep and then started to push again at 6am. With the help of vacuum extraction Ben was born in a couple pushes! Talk about relief!!! What a blessing he is...
