My Baby is Here

So on Monday I went in for my prenatal appointment, and mentioned I had been itchy. My doctor sent me up to labor and delivery. Apparently I had intrahepatic chloestasis of pregnancy, which has something to do with my liver and bile acids, and can cause potential problems including stillbirths. I called Joe, and they induced me. Labor went pretty well, and I didn’t get an epidural. The worst part was pushing for a very long time when I was very tired. Six hours later at 7:15, I had a healthy baby boy. He was 8 lbs 2 ounces, and 21.5 inches long and we named him Peter Eric.  He’s long and pretty skinny like his parents. We are doing great at home now. Grandma (my mom) is helping out, and I am loving being a mom. Joe will just look at Peter and cuddle with him when he gets home.
