Nehemiah Pyeongan Ko was born on his due date, November 10th, 2009, at 2:02am, weighing 4.2kg (9.24lbs) and measuring 53.8cm (21.18in). This technically goes along with my dream since it was November 9th in the states. ^.~ The labor was completely natural, and I wasn't even numbed for the millions of stitches I suppose I wound up with for internal tears (but perineum is okay!). I was the hero of the history of the hospital pretty much.
I don't think I wrote this, but after our last visit to the doctor at 39 weeks, I told Hee Suk he was going to be a 0-10 baby. I wasn't dialated or showing really any progress at all. He totally was a 0-10 baby, and active labor went very quickly. I will share more details later.
Recovery has been more difficult because my tailbone has shown me no mercy. Yesterday, I was finally able to start using my donut pillow to semi-comfortably sit. That and my breastfeeding pillow have been lifesavers today.
He is a perfect little angel, even though his first diaper change at home resulted in us needing to wash our comforter. We are both amazed by him and have been brought to tears of joy many times. We are blessed more than we could have ever deserved. God is so amazing.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. We are so, so incredibly blessed.

One question---how was the pain, doing it all natural? I'm asking because I am having our baby at a birth center with a nurse midwife and it will be all natural as well. However, I am a little nervous about it all. Just wanting to hear your description. Thanks!
