Atticus comes home
We are home now. Totally wiped out. We are going to sleep now. Talk to others tomorrow if Michelle is up to it. I'm would be up to it. Atticus has checked out fine. Michelle is sore and will be for some weeks. It's good. Michelle is really happy. She might get mad at me if I elaborated. I want to thank all the well wishes. It really means alot to both of us.
Happy Birthday Atticus Wyatt Riggs!
Atticus Wyatt Riggs was born at 8:26AM in Tucson, Arizona. He weighed 9.1 lbs. He was 22 inches long. Michelle was in labor for an agonizing 27.5 hours. If you are looking for a positive review of natural birth it won't be from me. It was the worst night of my life. Michelle was amazing. There are not words for her ability to deal with pain for such a long period. But in the end, Michelle gave birth to a healthy baby boy. The first Riggs boy in more than 27 years. Mother and baby are passed out as I type this. I can't express how proud I am of Michelle. Pure warrior.

Leaving home
This may be the last post before we welcome the boy into the world. Michelle's contractions are coming every 3-4 minutes and the intensity has picked up. She says it isn't horrific pain. People have varying degrees of pain tolerance. If Michelle's is very high then maybe these are what others consider "horrific". Who's to know? She is presently talking to the mid-wife on the phone. I have just been informed that we are leaving. So this might be it! If I can post at the birth center I will.
