Congratulations!!! You are so brave ... and what a little cutie he is! (Really! I'm not just saying that. He looks absolutely adorable!) Sorry to hear about the trouble with the epidural, I didn't know it could be so tricky when you have a curved spine. But wow ... arriving at the hospital at 7:30 and giving birth at 9:56 ... that's fast. Once again: Congratulations!

(Yep, I'm one of those ladies who are scared. I don't want to have kids myself, but I find it beautiful and amazing that other women do.)
