Welcome Baby Austin!

Well Austin Robert Harries made his arrival early this morning. It was quite a delivery to say the least. I started having contractions around 12:45am. We didn't leave for the hospital till 2:15 and got to the hospital around 2:45am. I was in a lot of pain and wanted the epidural right away...unfortuntaley that was not possible. When I got checked I was at a 5 then a few more contractions I was a 10. When they told me that I was at ten, all I could say was "so I can't have my epidrual, then Austin made his way out 3 mintues later at 3:21am. I didn't even have to really push. He just slid out! It went so fast I didn't even have time to comtemplate that my baby was laying on my chest. I am so glad that he arrived healthy and so quick. I can't say that I enjoyed this delivery, but I am so happy that its over and Austin is here in mine and Adams arms. He is doing so well and I just love looking down at him and kissing his sweet little head. Oh Austin weighed 7lbs 2 oz.

I am SO happy for you! That was REALLY fast! It really is unfair you look great in your pictures...I looked like I had been run over by a truck( I had great births but for some reason my hair doesn't weather well?) That little Austin sure is a cute one! I suppose I am too late to visit at the hospital..bummer...have to wait until you bring him to church:( Very sad me:( He has so much hair..very adorable! Great job! WOW! 7 pounds 2 ounces...that is pretty big for such a little you person:)

Oh my gosh Foush! Congrats! Austin is adorable! And I cannot believe how fast he arrived! I am getting kinda nervous now...yours is the third story I have heard in the past month now of girls progressing too quickly in labor to even have time to get an epidural...and I will probably rip someone's head off if I can't get one! Yikes! I'm scared!
I'm so happy Austin finally arrived and you guys are both doing well! Take care, get some rest! Love you and miss you! :)
