We're at the hospital now and we can't wait to meet our little one. Mom's doing great after they placed the epidural. Excited to join the Dad crew with you all. :)

My wife wanted to do the birth natural. Eventually a doctor came in to do a real talk about why she didn't want an epidural and convinced her to get one. So when you say "doing great after they placed the epidural" I totally understand.

She was able to get some sleep throughout some contractions which was nice. But we both thought it was pretty much over and the epidural would take care of everything...

But the last push was pretty rough. Needed an episiotomy, and then my son pretty much came flying out.
