Introducing Samuel Owen Lloyd Grierson

Our son, Samuel Owen Lloyd Grierson was born on Saturday, July 26, 2008 at 11:00 am, weighing 7 lbs 9 ozs. My labour started at about 1:00 pm on Friday afternoon, we were admitted to the hospital at around 8:00 pm and I was 4 cms. I thought that I was doing really well. Then things kind of slowed down. By 6 am nothing was really happening, I was about 8 cms. I started pushing around 8 am and by 10 am the doctor suggested a c-section. Apparently Sam's head wasn't in the right position, his chin wasn't tucked in and therefore was trying to come out top of the head first rather than back of the head. Anyway, by that time I was completely exhausted and was willing to do just about anything, so c-section it was. He was born at 11:00 am. Here are some photos.
