Hayden Crawford Labonte arrived at 7:51 pm on Monday, January 21, 2008. He weighed in at 7 lbs 12 oz and was 20 inches long.
Heather was induced bright and early Monday morning. She toughed it out and waited until 3:oo pm to get an epidural. Dennis was right by her side the entire time, soothing and comforting.
As the pain increased, pictures of their Mt. Washington hikes were a helpful distraction. Heather thought about the tough climbs and how the view was all worth it.
Around 7:15 pm, the doctor checked Heather and announced that we had a "bald head" and were "ready to have a baby"!! She only had to push 4-5 times, and Hayden was born!!
Mommy cried right away. Daddy beamed as he got a look at his boy.
