After starting labor at 5:30 AM, Chance was born at 3:31 PM.
He was 7 lbs 5 oz at birth, 7.3 at three days old, 7.7 at 7 days, and 7.12 at 10. And yes this boy sure can eat! He was also 20 inches long at birth, this is only slightly smaller than Joe at birth who was 7.7 and 21 in. I make some perfect sized babies.
After a delivery with virtually no problems, there was meconium in my water, so imediately after delivery Chace was suctioned before being allowed to take his first breath. This is not uncommon and not very scary as we knew about the meconium hours before his birth and I was fully prepared. AHowever it does slightly break your heart to have him across the room and not in your arms immediately following delivery.
All in all things went extremely well, and it was a very wonderful (and painful) experience.
