Well, after 41 weeks and 4 days, Tahra and I welcomed Drake Burl Boatright into the world on Tuesday morning. He was born at 8:37 am, weighing 7 lbs 11 oz, and measured 20.5 inches long. Tahra ended up not receiving pitocin that morning, as the Cytotec she received the night before was sufficient to put her into labor. Her water broke at about 3:30 am, so those of you who can do math can see that her labor was very short!
Of course, as the dad, all I had to do was take pictures; Tahra had the hard job, and she did a very fine job indeed. We made it home from the hospital yesterday (Thursday), and survived the first night home alone pretty well, I thought. He didn’t keep us up all night, and we are getting better about learning the meaning of all his squeaks and cries.
Here is the link to all the pictures (and one video)
And a job well done by all. I am so proud of your growing new family, Tahra and Mike.
