Welcome baby Sebastian!

He's here! Sebastian Robert Surber was born Monday, 2/7/11 at 9:53 am. He was 5 lbs 8 oz and 17 3/4 inches long. He was 33 weeks and 5 days gestation, but very good size for his age.

In my last post I wrote how I was back in the hospital, but they had stopped my labor by Sunday morning. I was suppose to go home on Monday morning, but I ended up going into labor again around 11pm Sunday night and it couldn't be stopped any longer. I was dilated all the way to 10cm by 9am Monday morning. So, technically I did "natural" labor with no drugs, until I got into the OR at 9am. :) I did it all, except for the pushing part!
I just got to visit him for the first time a few hours ago. We won't be able to hold him for a while yet, but we can touch him. He's breathing on his own already, so that is great. He probably won't be discharged until around my due date of 3/23, so keep us all in your prayers yet!
I'm doing really well, too. I'm unhooked from all the IV's and catheter already and pain from the c-section is very minimal. I even ended up getting a slight tummy tuck during my surgery! No pictures of that for a while yet, though. :)
