I'm awed, amazed, and simply in love. Our son Samuel Wilson was born on Friday, October 21 at 9:19pm. He weighs 8 pounds 4 ounces and is 21 inches long. Labor and delivery was about 3 hours, and we're both recovering nicely. Thanks to my wonderful husband and my wonderful in-laws, I've had nothing to do but nurse Samuel and take care of myself. For those interested I'll be posting Samuel's birth story in the pregnancy thread. He was definately worth the wait. Samuel space opera, who's a very happy woman right now

I love children. I'm terribly afraid of labor though, so I might need the help of a surrogate mother.

Yay! I've thinking about you the last couple of days, actually, wondering if anything had happened... Fantastic! He's very handsome. Well, ok he's a baby - he's just downright adorable and cute.

So wait…. Wasn’t there already Opera Boy or was it Space Boy? Or was it Boy Opera. I think the last one is it. So… does this make Samuel become Baby Opera? Or is it Space Baby? Fun! Congratulations!
