just because karina doesn't like to be outdone, she took the longest labor story she'd heard — and tried to double it.

saturday morning, march 29th at 8:39 am it was official: vaughn xavier breathed his first breath of north seattle air making the total labor time 65 hours (and yes, we rounded down). he weighed in at 7 lbs 10 oz, 20 inches long, and (as anyone there could tell ya) came equipped with a perfectly functional set of lungs.

so there you have it. the line has been drawn in the sand: 65 hours. we invite anyone who wants to take a crack at breaking that record. noelle would seem to be up next. good luck girl.    :)
