A few days ago Mary wrote a post titled "Sam is coming..."  Well Sam has arrived.  He is, of course, adorable.  There isn't a whole lot to say except thank you to everyone for supporting me and caring.

On a slightly different subject, Sam was delivered 100% naturally.  I was in the delivery room and I could not believe how intense it got in there.  I don't think I would have had the strength to turn down more advanced medical aide in his delivery if it were me.  His mother was amazing in his delivery.  She had a nurse on one side, her mom (also a delivery nurse at a different hospital) on the other side and a midwife at the end of the bed.  Something just seemed so right and natural about a woman in labor surrounded by other women supporting her and coaching her.  It wouldn't have been right if there had been a man involved.  After having sat through this delivery I am convinced no man can ever fully understand the experience.  In that room there were women supporting another woman through an experience only mother's can completly know.  I'm a different person for having the experience of simply watching him be born... I can only imagine how it has effected his mother.

Thanks again everyone.
