Our new baby is finally here, and we want to use the power of the web to share the experience. We'll put our favorite pictures on this site and give some information on how the birth went and how we're all doing now. Isabella was born at the ABC Unit (Birthing Center) at Providence Hospital in Southfield, Michigan. Suzy was only in labor for 13 hours from the time her water broke (9 hours from time of contractions). My wife gave birth without any drugs, but did ask for Tylenol when she was 9.5 cm dialated. Since Bella was born in a birthing center, I was able to be at Suzy's side until we left the hospital. Even when Bella was born, she stayed with us in the room until it was time to go home--24 hours later.
