Damien Richard Craig Arrives!

So, Baby Craig's due date came and went, and no baby. Momma Craig and her doctor decided that they would do an induction on Wednesday, October 13, 2010 if he didn't come on his own by then, which he didn't. So Wednesday morning Momma and Papa Craig reported to the hospital at 7am, were admitted and got the induction drugs rolling by 9am, and contractions started intensely around 12pm. 9 hours later, with the help of an epidural (that unfortunately stopped being that effective in the final stages) and a record 1 hour of pushing, baby Craig entered this world!

Lorelei and Mathias are please to announce the birth of their son Damien Richard Craig. Damien was born on October 13, 2010 at 9:09 PM. He weighed 9lbs 1oz and was 21.65 inches long.


Momma and Damien meet at last after a long 9 month journey together. It is love at first sight.


And baby makes 3!



Proud papa Craig is immediately smitten with his beautiful son. Papa was an amazing labor coach and kept momma sane in that difficult final hour.


Auburn proudly holding little Damien after coaching and supporting momma during the final pushing stage to get him out. Momma Craig is very appreciative of her support and hopes she is no too traumatized by Momma's yelling, screaming, cursing, etc.
