how fast was that?

At 12:30 Kelly said that she wanted an internal exam because she was feeling like she had to push with each contraction. Our midwife suggested waiting to avoid disappointment, but Kelly was persistent. So she climbed out of the tub and to everyone's surprise she had gone from 2cm dilated at 9am to fully dilated at 12:30. So back to the tub we went, and at 1:05pm, Parker Patrick Smith was born. Thirty-five minutes of pushing, no drugs at all (absolutely nothing), and a happy little baby with blue eyes and brown hair. More pictures to follow, but here were some right after he came out.

How much did he weigh? We're waiting for some close up head shots to see if he looks as much like Tyler as he did in the ultra-sounds.
