Its a boy!

Matt and I are thrilled to announce the birth of our son, Henry Cooper "Radwood" (Cooper will be his nickname). He is a whopping 8lbs 13oz, 20 1/4 inches long, with a nice head of medium brown hair. He made his grand appearance at 1:32 in the afternoon on Monday the 10th. He came out kicking and screaming, literally- very excited to meet the world!

We were all safe and back at home by Monday night- it was a great (if rather long) birth and we all came out of it very healthy. My hopes to deliver via "natural childbirth" were fulfilled with the help of two midwives, a doula, a nurse, a whole bunch of non-invasive birth aids and techniques, and the unbelievably wonderful support of the best husband EVER!

As time goes on, I'll post more about the birth, Cooper, and where to go to see cool pictures. Right now I have to nap...
