Meet Rowan Adair.
7 pounds 15 ounces of awesome.
I can't even put into words how I feel about her.
Just holding her, and the way she looks at me....
she has turned me into a crying emotional candy ass in a matter of days.
I am totally exhausted right now, but I am the happiest I have been since before my mother died in '99.
This little boob hog has filled every hole in my heart.
My wife had an easy pregnancy, and cruised through the labor all the way up to it was time to push, and then it was hell. She had to push for 3 straight hours, and they cut her epidural off at the halfway point.
So far at least the last hour, she had nothing for pain, and it was straight brutal. I could see signs of her going into shock at the end. I was about to explode. I have been injured alot in the past, put through a windshield, compound fracture, all my mtb injuries etc...
I could deal with that, but seeing my wife suffer like that was the most stressed I have ever been. She has never so much as had an IV before that day, and the fact that she toughed that out and keeped pushing was amazing.
The baby is healthy and happy and we are home now. I will post more later if I can ever get any sleep. Here are some pics:
