as his first time in a "special delivery" unit.Thursday morning, after over 24 hours of drugs that caused contractions but "no action" Prairie Dog was still scampering around getting his picture taken with "internal Alloicious".
Fortunately, by Friday morning, Prairie Dog was posing with 
"external Alloicious" who was already waving his hands working on his Jedi mind tricks. In between the labor strike had taken place. Labor proceeded quickly at the end so that Alloicious arrived just before 5 pm on Thursday, and a "strike" happened in the bowling (or pitching) sense of best possible outcome: healthy baby boy, no extra drugs and procedures*, healthy me, healthy Mister, excited Prairie Dog.
His name is not Mervivian or Alloicious, but I think that's what his blog name will be.

*Several of the nurses were delighted that I was able to give birth to this child "naturally", as I had wanted to. While I was glad (in the end) that I didn't have the epidural or any other pain drugs, I'm unconvinced that being induced a week early with multiple drugs and IV lines after a pregnancy of daily anti-coagulant injections is exactly "natural". None the less, I suppose it still counts as a strike if you knock all the pins down, regardless of your grip and release pattern.

Congrats on the "natural" birth and I think that at least the "birth" part sounds like it went well even if the preganacy part had a few more drugs.
That kind of labor strike is the best kind! Whether you call it a natural birth or not, if you're satsified with the way things went, that's what matters most.
I'm impressed that you got through an induced labor without pain meds!
yay prairie dog.
Congrats to you for doing a good job all the way through to the end - a healthy mom and baby are all you need to know that you did well! Best of luck as you all settle into your new lives, and please definitely keep us updated!
Thanks for the post. I was hoping everything went well! What a CUTIE M-A even more than prairie dog. More pictures?
Jas and I are glad to hear everything went well and everyone is Ok and healthy! Congratulations and we can't wait to see him.
Soon Prairie Dog will be levitated due to M/A's Jedi Mind Tricks. Love that you took pictures with the Prairie Dog. Can't wait to see you all.
