Madden Hughes Flood

Madden Hughes is finally here!!! He was born on February 4, 2009 at 8:59 am. He was 8 lb 10 oz and 21 inches long. Due to his size, he wouldn't fit through my pelvis and had to be delivered via c-section. Unfortunately, we were unable to tell he wouldn't fit until I was fully dialated, so I was in labor around 22 hours. He never would drop, indicating he was "stuck." I'm recovering well, and Madden is absolutely perfect!!! Stephen has had to take on a lot of the responsibility, and he's a natural father! He loves his son so much and has taken care of us both while I've been recovering. Madden is a week old today, and we still can't believe he is ours! Neither of us know how we ever lived without him. We've never been happier!!!
