Baby boy is here

Baby boy is here! Over 16 hours of labor and a somewhat painful delivery process, Braxton Arie Gervaid was born at 7 pm Sept 14th 👶🏻💕 7 pounds and 6 ounces. He was exactly one week early.
After coming  to the hospital at 3 am and getting turned away because I was only at 2cm, we turned right back around once we got home because my contractions were getting extremely painful. I came back to be 6 cm and was at 8 cm two hours later. Then once I got the epidural, it was stalled all day. They thought I was deliver before noon and ended up with a painfully long day waiting for me to open up that final 0.5 cm. My meds wore off a couple of times and my legs became completely numb while my torso could feel all my contractions. I pushed for a little over an hour. Then TADA! Here he is :)
