William Patrick Henry Moran
Born: March 23, 2010
Weight: 9lbs., 12oz
Length: 20 3/4 inches
All along this baby's name was going to be William Patrick Moran, William because we liked it and Patrick after his daddy. Well, after he was born, Dan was looking at what significant things happened on that day in history. As it turns out, Patrick Henry gave his "give me liberty or give me death speech" on March 23. Our children are the direct descendants of at least 7 men who fought in the American Revolution and because of these two facts, we added "Henry". I love the addition but still can't believe I agreed to it at the last minute.
As far as the birth goes, I started having contractions Monday afternoon around 3, they were regular, but not painful. After a couple of hours, I went to the hospital, but I was only 1 cm. It took me until Tuesday morning to get to three and then another couple of hours to get to 4. I was pretty worried that I would stall and end up needing a c-section, but all of a sudden, I was 9 and then 10 and after a few minutes, William was born. It was my longest labor for sure, but besides getting no sleep, the easiest!
William has been a perfect little baby, sleeping well (the last couple of nights, he has gone for 5 hour stretches, eaten, and then another 3-4!!!) and having a great little disposition. Here are some pictures from the hospital.
