He weighed 7lb and 2oz. His due date was June 8, so he was almost three weeks early.<\/p>\n<p>I went into early labour while I was still at work on May 19, but tried to ignore it. Contractions continued till I went to bed. Woke up with painful regular contractions at 2:30 am. We tried to sleep and rest while timing contractions, packing our bag, making labour-aid, and getting Curtis&#8217; mom to come over to watch Lillia. Contractions slowed down around 7:30, so I went to bed till noon and slept between contractions. Then got up and moved around, increasing the contractions. We went to Royal Columbian Hospital at 2:45 pm and met our midwife. I was at about 6cm. Continued labouring without medication till 4:35 pm. We broke the water and after some crazy, intense labour, the baby was born at 5:13 pm. We are so thankful for an uncomplicated, natural birth and a healthy baby!<\/p>\n<p>The baby is feeding well, and mom is recovering fine. We only stayed in the hospital till 11:30 pm on May 20. Lillia is doing well as a big sister. She especially finds diaper changes and the baby&#8217;s sounds interesting. Mom and dad have scrambled to arrange furniture for the new baby, but everything is going really well. Come on by for a visit!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nancyduckhildebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/mg_5761-w600px-1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-256\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nancyduckhildebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/mg_5761-w600px-1.jpg\" alt=\"_MG_5761-w600px (1)\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nancyduckhildebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/mg_5761-w600px-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/nancyduckhildebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/mg_5761-w600px-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nancyduckhildebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/mg_5761-w600px-1-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We were surprised to welcome our new baby, Caleb Matteo, into the world on Wednesday May 20, 2009 at 5:13 pm.
