Michael packed us up and we headed to the hospital once my contractions were every 5 minutes. I was certain the nurse would send me home and say I wasn't in active labor, because my pain wasn't as severe as I had thought it should be. The nurse checked me and we were both surprised to discover I was already dilated to a 7! We moved from triage to the delivery room and about 7 hours later Michael helped deliver our baby boy with Dr. West.
Our boy weighed 9 lbs, 9.6 oz and was 21.5" long. Even after laboring all night long and working the day before, I couldn't sleep after Mackay was born. He is such a beautiful newborn. I was in awe of our little miracle and just wanted to stare at him. He is a long, dark, and handsome little guy, just like his daddy. Here are pictures from our greatest adventure yet.

Michael and my L&D nurses were awesome.

Mack finally got a bath after passing his 4 blood sugar checks. The foot pokes didn't phase him, but the bath was traumatic!
Sweet little (big) hands and feet.
