Karter Edward Gray

He finally made it! After pushing for just over 2 1/2 hours, Dana gave one final HUGE push at 3:46am...and...

...out came Karter Edward Gray!!!!
At 9lbs. 1oz., Karter is a big boy already - and a big eater! Baby and mommy are doing fine, but we all are very tired. Dana was in labor from 1:00am until 3:46am the next day - over 26 hours of labor. Kristoffer managed to get about one hour of sleep during the whole process - in two half hour chunks. Each of us has a long day of sleep ahead of us...but Karter is the only one who has managed to do so while Dana fully recovers from the birth and Kristoffer tries to be with her as much as possible.
Thank you for all your thoughts...God helped us through and brought us a true gift.
