20 inches
The first picture is when he was 5 minutes old. The picture of Stephen (my hubby), me and Basil was when he was cleaned up and about an hour old. The third picture is the next day at the hospital.
He is so beautiful! I know I am biased, but I have to say...he is a cute baby!
The labor wasn't bad and I only pushed for 15 minutes before he entered the world! Ladies, I have one word for you: EPIDURAL! The contractions were getting pretty intense but once I got that epidural, life was good! The pushing was not bad...who can complain about 15 minutes!
We got home from the hospital Wednesday and just went to pediatrician today. I am doing great (OK, a little sore and sleep deprived) and Basil is a healthy, happy Baby.
If you are wondering about his name....
Basil is named after a 4th Century Saint, Basil the Great (I am Orthodox Christian)
Oscar was my very special grandfather who passed away last July.
I will resume normal posting again next week!

Congradulations on your beautiful baby... many blessings to you guys. I wonder if the pushing for only 15 minutes was due to your healthy lifestyle during your pregnancy?
He really is so cute!

I agree he's very cute!
Just curious, but why do you think it only took you 15 minutes? All of my girlfriends are usually in labor hours and most of the time they end up having a c-section. Do you think it's because you are a runner?
