Happy Birthday Clark!!!

clark was born today, october 4th, 2011, at 5:57pm. he weighed 9 lbs 5 oz (!) and was 20 3/4 inches long. delivered vaginally! i did get an epidural, as the pain was intollerable, but he delivered after pushing for only 15 minutes. i only needed 3 stitches! i feel so happy that my pelvis was big enough to accomodate such a large baby! clark has some bruises on his face and one arm, from sliding past my pubic bone, but other than that, we're both doing great.

more details later-- i need to sleep.
