    Ok so bodhi wasnt as large as some of the other bubby's mentioned. He was 9.5 pounds, which is pretty big for me seen as im only 5'2. I cant remember what his head circumfrence was, it was fairly big tho----he still has a boof head hehe.
    The birth for him was great No pain relief(which im pretty proud of myself for!) He was born 2 hours after i got to the hospital. I stayed on all fours for a while but it just got way to painful. I was then put onto a birthing stool. I highly reccomend it! It was awesome. DF was able to sit behind me & massage my back & i could lean forwards or sit upstraight when ever i needed to.
    I had very minimal grazing(so little that i never even noticed it till the swelling had gone down & by then it was pretty much gone.
    Bodhi was born at 6:30pm & was left the hospital at lunch(about 12pm i think) the next day.
    All in all it was a really positive experience for me. Like i said, i really really recomend the birthing stool!
