We are pleased to introduce... Sam Buscaglia

Our beautiful boy Sam joined the family at 1:22 p.m. on Thursday, August 20. He weighed 8lbs. 2 ozs. and was 19 3/4 inches long. He came out with a full head of dark brown hair.

My original due date was scheduled for August 24, but since I was progressing so well and he was growing pretty fast, my Dr. felt we could induce a few days early. I was ready for him to come, so we agreed to induce on Thursday morning. I was admitted at 6:00 a.m. The nurses told me I was already contracting on my own before I was given pitocin. By 8:00 I had an epidural, started the pitocin, and was progressing really well. Around 1:00, my nurse came in and said I was ready to push. Okay, I hate to brag, but Sam was out in 4 pushes. What a piece of cake :)

Mommy and Daddy waiting for Sam to arrive. We watched several episodes of Cash Cab.

Finally free from the womb.
