We got home from the hospital around 3:30pm today. The stay and birth was very pleasant and fast. The epideral made things much nicer for both of us, so we definitely will go that route again.
Photos and videos are being uploaded now. Anna and Jared just showed up with some delicious enchilada so we’re about to eat right now.
The live updates via twitter were a big success, so I’ll go ahead and repost the entire thread here for the record from beginning to the end!
