The baby boy has finally arrived! Thorvald Giovanni has been born!

I went in at 8 am on the 21st to be induced. It took till about 12 pm for them to break my water, and the contractions started shortly after that. He was born at 11:40 pm Mountain Time on February 21st, 7 lbs. 13 oz. and 21 in. long. We had to stay at the hospital until Saturday, just arriving home that afternoon. He's 4 days old now and doing pretty good. All his vitals and everything checked out wonderfully.

We take him to his first doctor's visit tomorrow.

I'm doing well. I was able to get up and move around just fine a few hours after he was born, which I think both shocked and scared the nurses in post partum. Things are pretty hectic at the house right now, because it's us, my parents, four cats, and my little brother who's about to turn 3. He's adjusting well to a new baby in the house, but we won't be living here much longer. We're looking for a new house for our new family, and we expect to be here no longer than May this year.

Well, gotta go, he's crying for his lunch and Daddy can't breast feed.
