Thomas Michael Ryan

Well, Thomas has arrived. He was born July 17th, 2007 at 4:42 PM. He weighed 6 lbs 12 ounces & was 19 1/2 inches long.

Liz is recovering and doing well. It was a long day and she did a great job. She made it all the way to 8cm totally natural, but had to give in for the epidural after she was already 8cm dilated. Once the epidural was given Liz only had contractions for a few more hours and then had to push for only 30 minutes. She was such a strong pusher that he came right out. Liz had some slight tearing so she had to be stitched afterwards but is doing great now.



We are at home now so if anyone feels like they would like to stop by the house to say hi and see the new addition to the family then just give us a call.

Thanks everyone for all your support! It's great having such awesome friends and family.
