Happy weekend everyone! BABY BOY IS HERE!
Meet Finn! He was born on Friday at 4:36 p.m. He weighed 7 pounds, 5 ounces and was 19.75 inches long. He has a headful of brown hair!
My water broke the night before I was scheduled to be induced. I labored for 14 hours before baby boy was born. Labor and delivery was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, both emotionally and physically, but 100% worth it to get to the other side with this little guy in my arms.
We are in the hospital and should be heading home Monday morning. I’m recovering slowly but feeling good overall. Finn is doing really well and we’re getting a great start to breastfeeding. The support from the nurses at the hospital has been truly incredible on every level. They are amazing.
I’ll be writing a full birth story to share with you soon but for now I’m off to enjoy lots of baby cuddles, visits from family and friends, rest and trying to figure out where these beautiful lips came from! <3
I can’t say thank you enough for all of the love and support that you guys have shown towards me and baby Finn over the course of my pregnancy. I’m so overjoyed to be on the other side and to continue to share this journey with you!
Love,
Jen
Congratulations on your bundle of joy! Finn is precious.

What a journey. Congratulations. Not stealing your thunder, but, I, too, will say labor and delivery was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. Badge of honor.

Welcome, Baby Finn! And congratulations, Mama, on your labor experience. Onward now to more joy and (worthwhile) struggles. Try to rest up and feed yourself well.
Aww. Congratulations, and welcome to baby Finn! Take care.
Congratulations!! He is adorable. Enjoy every minute of it!
Congrats!!! I can’t wait to hear more details (i am not rushing you! only when you are ready) 🙂 Curious, what did the “G” in the original “Baby G” stand for? Finn is an adorable name. You seem like you will be a great mom.
OMG, he’s perfect! Congrats to you and Tanner! I have been popping in every other day to check up on you and had a busy weekend and am just seeing this! And I totally agree, labor & delivery are now my standard by which I compare everything! In my final miles of the marathon, I thought this hurts but not like naturally delivering a baby! Enjoy being a mother!
Congratulations!!! Welcome to the world of motherhood where no textbook or training can prepare you for the wonderful journey you have just embarked!!! All the best. Hugs from Nova Scotia Canada ?
