He's Here

Kathryn woke up about 630 on Sunday Morning with a gush. Her water had not totally broken on the spot but it was running like a Garden hose. Kathryn also began having contractions that were stronger then she had ever had, strong enough to stop her in her tracks. When we checked in she was still only dilated to a 2+ so after a few checks they started her on pitosin to move things along. Here is a pic of her with her ipod going getting a little shut eye just after they started the epidural.


About 130 or so things started getting rolling and Kathryn started the great push It lasted until about 330 when Henry made his much anticipated debut. He weighed in at a new Russon Family record 8 pounds 1 ounce, 19 1/2 inches long.







He deffinately has some of Michael's features as well as that recognizable russon Chin (or lack there of)
