Well, I was right about it being labour...

Born in our ensuite bathroom's corner tub, though I did most of my labouring just walking around the house. Anyway, he's healthy, strong, and sleeping peacefully as I type. Pictures have been taken and will be forthcoming, I just didn't feel like hobbling back to the bedroom to get the camera just now.

Thanks so much to all of you who prayed and sent good wishes! The labour was fast and intense and I ache all over, but as you can tell from the fact that I'm sitting up and typing, I'm doing very well.

Mazel tov! (Though I cannot *believe* you are sitting and typing LJ entries just hours/minutes after giving birth.) May your new addition always be a source of pride and joy to you and the rest of the family.
