Postpartum Week 8: Dear Henry

Dear Henry,



You were born November 6th, 2016 at 2:29am. You weighed 8lbs 5oz and was 21inches long. I like to say to people, a marathon labor for a marathon baby (you were born on Marathon Sunday).

You came into this world a solid kid with LOTS of hair. Nice and heavy so dad and I weren't too afraid to hold you. You barely cried and mainly wheezed on my belly after birth. You were a bit steamy hot like a chinese steamed bun.

Dr. Anna Fieldman delivered you as well as another nurse, I forget her name. Dad was by my side the entire time and held my head during the labor.


We both cuddled you for an hour before you were sent off to NICU. More to come.

Love u,
Mom
