Caleb Joshua Ostler

Well our little man has officially arrived! My water broke at about 6:30 AM on Tuesday, so we hurried and packed our bags and headed to the hospital. The nurse started me on Pitocin and we were off and running! (Those of you who would like a more detailed account of the whole experience I would love to share, but I won't get into the nitty gritty here) I got to 10 cm and started to push and thats where it got interesting. My doctor had told me I had a small pelvic outlet and told me it would be difficult for me to deliver over an 8 pound baby...and boy was he right! I pushed for 2 hours before our little boy came into the world weighing in at 9 pounds 7 ounces! He is such a chunk, and although biased because he is my offspring, is probably one of the cutest things I have ever seen in my life! Josh and I just stare at him all day and just laugh at how cute he is when he cries. I am sure that will wear off soon, but we just can't get enough of our boy!
Enjoy...
