Benjamin Arrives
I haven't had much time to update the blog lately... but BENJAMIN JUAN ALBARRAN has arrived!!!! We checked into the hosiptal on Monday Dec. 15th at 10pm to induce labor. I was having contractions by 10:30-11:00pm. However by 7:30 Tues. morning, I was still only 1 cm dialated, so my doctor broke my water. And by 4:00 pm Tues. afternoon (almost 18 hours of labor) I was still only 1 cm. My doctor said for some reason the baby was not dropping past the pelvic bone, so we needed to do an emergency C-section. 
Benjamin was born at 5:53 pm on Tues., Dec. 16th, weighing in at 7 lbs. and 2.2 oz. and 20.5 inches long. Here's some pics of the baby in the nursery while I was in recovery, and our first family photo once we were together in the room.
