Our gorgeous, perfect boy is here!

I'll post more later, but our little guy, Benjamin was born at 5:43 a.m. after the shortest labor EVER. Water broke at 12:15 and 5.5 hours later, I was holding my son. Contractions sucked more than I could have imagined and I caved and got an epi. Pushed for two hours, but it was so worth it.

He weighed 8 lbs, 1 oz, is 18 inches long and has lots of hair. He's happy and healthy, took to feeding immediately and is just too amazing for words. A few quick pics:
