Sullivan Paul Christensen was born August 11 at around 10 pm. He weighed 7lbs 5oz and was 21in long. He weighed the same as Drezden when she was born and was half an inch longer than her too.
The labor and delivery went well. I ended up going into the hospital to be induced. I arrived at the hospital at 6am. I went in and it took a while before they could find a good vein to get the IVs started. I elected to get an induction because I had the strep B bacteria again and I wanted to have enough time to get enough of the penicillin before the baby came. Well, I had plenty of time... haha. Anyways, It took a bit longer than I had expected. The baby just wasn't ready to come... I wouldn't say that I was in labor for 18 hours(maybe more like a few),but I was there for a total of 18 hours before the baby came. The pitosin didn't work like I thought it would, I was expecting it to put me in labor right away, but no luck. I was fine though, just bored.
Anyway, Sullivan is doing great. He is almost 3 weeks old now. Time goes by so fast. Drezden has been adjusting well. She is away with grandma right now and Phil is in the UK away on business, so it is me and Sullivan right now. Although I have had someone with me almost every day since Phil has been gone.
I will post pictures of Sullivan in a different post!

I can't wait to see pictures of him! I'm sure he is adorable. Phillip is in the UK? Holy cow! I'm so glad you've had someone with you everyday. It must be hard on both of you to be apart from each other, especially with a brand new baby. When will he be home? I'd love to call and talk to you, but I only have Phil's number. Could you e-mail me your phone number? emsharp8@msn.com
