    my hubby and i had a huge surprise this past weekend - our baby boy decided to arrive a bit early! he was born on saturday july 16th at 2:56pm. I was due august 19th (he was almost exactly 5 weeks early) but he is 100% healthy and was apparently super ready to make an appearance. He weighs 6 lbs 15 oz, is 20 inches long, and is absolutely perfect...i love him so much already!

    as you can imagine, the last few days have been a whirlwind. i had a relatively quick and easy labor and delivery for a first time mom, but am definitely experiencing a lot of postpartum stuff - swelling (worse than during pregnancy), exhaustion (baby seems to think night is day!), and plenty of soreness. but so far i love being a mommy and never thought i could love and care about this little person so much so quickly! 

    i'll be posting my birth story in a separate post :)

    Congrats!  So glad you're both doing well.  A easy labor is always a great thing to hear.  Was your doctor ever under the impression that you might go early?  Or was it totally unexpected?
