Healthy Reeve Schroeder arrives at 8 lbs 10 oz

Born on November 12 Reeve weighed 8 lbs 10 oz. I was induced at 9am and gave birth at 10:51 PM. Because he was so big and I stopped dilating at 9 the doctor had to use a “kiwi” which looks like a mini toilet plunger to pull Reeve out. I was given a total of 3 contractions to push or else I would have to have a C-Section. With my determination and urge to avoid a c-section I gave it my all on the last contraction and amazingly he made it. He has brown hair, deep blue eyes (will most likely turn brown) and the cutest face. He is already 9 lbs 3 oz as of this past Wednesday. He LOVES LOVES to eat and he is only waking up once at night (for now at least).

I will have photos up sometime next week.
