The baby is born!

On Tuesday, October 20 at 9:59 AM, we met Michael Asher Bradford for the first time! He was 7lbs, 14oz at birth and 20 inches long.
I am so thankful that labor did eventually start naturally when my waters broke at 2:20 AM. I was in labor around 4.5-5 hours, total. It was a natural, unmedicated birth and Christian was an AMAZING Bradley birth coach!
I'll be posting the full birth story when I have time later, so keep checking!
We are still sorting through pictures from 3 cameras, and will be having a professional newborn photographer come to the house next week, so those pictures will be better!
