40 + hours of labor.

Yes, 40+ hours! This was an epic childbirth indeed and the talk of the hospital. No one could believe my wife went as long as she did without intervention. Hospitals are not used to seeing this type of thing, even ones that use an amazing midwife staff like we had. We saw 4 shifts of nurses and midwives in total. The staff at Stony Brook hospital was amazing, by the way, and truly respected our wishes for a natural birth. Well, as natural as possible in a hospital setting.
Baby Mason is doing great, perfect in fact. It all feels very surreal right now.
Apparently, while a healthy paleo baby Mama makes for a perfectly healthy paleo baby... it may not necessarily make child birth any easier. My wife is a warrior.
Looking forward to posting more as we go along this crazy journey. I can't be sure what or how often I'll write here but I promise it will be full of typos and grammatical errors and hopefully, once in a while... something helpful.
