Then we headed home.
Labor started around 2pm on Tuesday the 22nd and progressed as it should with water breaking at 6pm then we were 4cm at 9:30pm so Brett got into the birthing tub we had set up in the dining room. Where she labored till just after 1:30am when it was time to push. The little one's heart rate was falling a bit so Brett got out of the tub and moved to the bedroom for 23 minutes of pushing and out he came with lungs blaring - didn't even need prompting.

Mom and Oliver are just getting the hang of breastfeeding, we are all learning about and napping and dad's been peed on twice during diaper changing.
So here we are two days later and we have an official name Oliver (Ollie for short) Bean (a Scottish name for lively) Safford Lukens.We will update pictures and stories as they happen. Thank you to everyone who had us in their thoughts.
