Currently, Desmond is napping in his swing that's he's almost outgrown. He's 6 months now and the last time I posted was in June, so allow me to photodump the last 10 months of my life.
I went into labor on October 4th at 4:30pm, handled it like a champ. Got to pushing and couldn't push my massive 9lb baby out my tiny hoo-ha. After a failed home birth (I still hate saying that.) we drove to the hospital where I was given an epidural to help me rest and then a few hours later Desmond was pulled out of me using forceps. I was given the option of forceps or emergency C-section and at the time I thought forceps was a better idea. It still took me 6+ weeks to heal so I'm not sure what would have been the best choice.
But I got my baby, and he's awesome sauce. Here are (a crap ton of) photos from his first 6 months.
