21 Inches
He finally came yesterday around 5:00 at night - we're so happy he's here and healthy. The delivery was such a different experience than with Ella, but he is so sweet and I can't believe how much I have fallen in love with him already. We came to the hospital around 8 in the morning, and was started on the pitocin at 9. I was stuck at a 4 forever, and the nurses kept calling my doctor to come and break my water because they knew I would go fast once he did, but for some reason he never showed up. Around 3:00 the nurse was checking me again and accidently broke my water, and then 2 hours later he was born. It was so crazy because I got my epidural early in the day becuase they thought the doctor would be there to break my water, but because I didn't actually go into hard labor until around 3, it wore off and I started feeling everything. They kept upping the dosage, but nothing really worked again, and I ended up delivering him feeling pretty much it all. I honestly don't know how people do the natural thing willingly, it was not a fun experience! Anyway, its over, and he is healthy and the sweetest little thing, so all is well now!
We both look so swollen and so tired!
Right after he was born - he looks so much like Ella did when she was a newborn, its crazy!
I was so excited for this one to come and see us, but this is what she did the entire time! She didn't really want anything to do with me or Gage, she just sat in this chair and gave me the stink eye! It made me sad, but she did give me a big kiss before she left, so hopefully she'll get over it fast.
Matt and his little guy. He has been so cute and excited to be with him. He is such a good dad.
We're so happy to have this little guy a new part of our family!

That is great. When you get to go home and are feeling up to visitors i will have to come see you and your family! Congrats,I am happy for you!
Way to go Guys! Congrats on baby Gage! He's a cute little guy! Hope all went well!
Congratulations Melissa! I've been checking your blog every day to see your new little one. Such a cutie and way to go on the natural birth--you're an animal.
Yeah! CONGRATS! he is darling. I am so happy that everything went okay. I have been wondering as well when you were going to have him.
What a handsome boy! Congratulations!
Congratulations! He is adorable. I wish I was there to hold him. I am so sorry the epidural wasn't working. You experienced the hardest part of labor with no pain management. Give me a call when you are feeling up to talking on the phone. I will send your present in the mail.
Congratulations!! He is a cutie!! I did the same thing as everyone else constantly checking your blog to see if you had him yet! :) Have so much fun with him! How is Ella with the whole thing? I hope that she is doing better! It is quite a shock for those little ones at first!
Congratulations! He is so beautiful! I know that you aren't supposed to say that about boys but he is darling. Have fun with him! :)
Check you out! Blogging the day after!!!! I'm impressed. :) Congratulations to your cute little family!!! He is adorable and I'm guessing Ella will warm up to him. You should feel proud of yourself in regards to the epidural thing. I've been there and it's tough! Way to go!!! Can't wait to see him!
Congrats!! I am so excited for you guys! He is darling!! Is he a good baby?
Yeah! Congratulations! I am sorry I haven't been over to see him. I haven't wanted to bug you guys too much. He is so sweet! Please let me know if you need anything. I would love for Ella to come over and play.
Congrats you guy's!!! He is darling! Little boy's are so much fun! When you are feeling up for it we will all have to get together!
CONGRATS! He is so darn cute! I am so happy for you that he is finally here! You look beautiful as always, I hope everything is going well!
