San.tiago Car.los was born at 2:05 pm Saturday, Aug. 2nd, weighing in at 8 lbs., 7 oz. We just came home today.

I went to my doctor's appointment on Friday morning at 40w, 2d. An u/s showed low fluid levels, so they sent me straight to the hospital for an induction. I'll try to post a proper birth story at some point, but here are the highs and lows:

Highs:

- Pushing Santi out was quick and I didn't tear or need stitches. Yay for being able to sit comfortably!
- My milk came in today and nursing is going well (doing so one-handed at the moment)
- I have a SON!!!!!!

Lows:

- Pitocin sucks so badly. My doula rocks and got me through so much of it epidural-free, but ultimately, not being very mobile (I was hooked up to too many drips and monitors) and not being able to eat for 24 hours really wore me down.
- Experiencing transition when you can't move REALLY sucks.
- I hemorrhaged and had to remain hooked up to the Pitocin drip for another 24 hours after labor. Have I mentioned that Pitocin sucks? And that not being very mobile sucks? Mercifully, it's all under control now and I just have to get my iron levels back up.

Anyway, here's an early shot. More to come.
