Okay, since Pisces asked in another thread...
The baby is here - he arrived on June 2nd, weighed 7 lb. 8 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long. Easy labor - I was induced again this time just like with my first, so I was all settled in the hospital bed before any contractions began. I was going to see if I could beat my 2-hour record that I set with my daughter in 2006 but this one took 4 hours 55 minutes from the time they started the IV (I was not in active labor that whole time, though - took awhile for the pitocin to take effect this time). My husband and I were joking that that was a ridiculously long labor. :)
Anyway, all is good. Today my husband went back to work so it's my first day on my own in charge of two little ones. So far so good, only 2 more hours until daddy comes home.
