So here he is! And we finally decided on a name, Solomon David Cook. We chose this name for a few different reasons. First of all it just fits him, it's also unique but not too unusual, it means "Peace" and we like that, and King Solomon was the son of King David so it's kind of a cool way to call him "David's Son."
He was born on. April 15th at 11:51pm. he was 7 lbs. 10 oz. and 19.5 inches long.
Megan went into labor yesterday morning at about 4:30am. She went most of the day with contractions about 5-7 minutes apart for 40-70 seconds each. We wanted to do most of the labor at home so we just hung out and took care of a few last things. We went out for lunch around 3:30 and when we got back her contractions increased. We got to the hospital and they measured her at 4cm at 8:50pm. At 10:25 she was measuring at 7-8cm and at 11:15 she was fully dilated. She started pushing at 11:30 and he was born just 20 minutes later. Keep in mind that Megan went through all of this without an epidural I was blown away at how tough she was and how well she did. Everything was just amazing and couldn't have gone any better.
He has been so good so far. Only fusses a little when he's hungry, but other than that he just lays there with wide open eyes taking everything in.
Now for the picture fest because this post is meant for Grandma's as well:
