Life's big Race

After several hours of labor and only a few minutes of hard pushing, Sunny brought Race Samuel Reed into Corpus Christi at 4:45p, on October 11th. He's a big boy, weighing 9 pounds, 4 ounces at birth. This is especially amazing when you realize Sunny didn't have any drugs at all and just took it full-strength. I was lucky to catch that moment of relief and joy a birthing mother feels when the work is well done and the 'race' is won. Race is taking the breast like a champ, has opened both eyes, and his beat-up birth face is nearly gone today. Sunny feels so much better not being pregnant. What a difference a day makes!
