Day Two

We got to see some awake time :) He woke some throughout the first night to nurse and cuddle, but mostly slept... mommy didn't sleep as well since it seemed once asleep someone would come in and poke me or him. 

Another day, another cute outfit :) 

And some more cuddles from big sister :) 

The big event though was coming home! 

I didn't mind the ride I slept through it :) 

Second Night... 

So second night went okay. I did nurse about every hour, which drove mommy mad and so she gave me my froggie paci for the first time. I LOVE IT! We ended up sleeping in the living room on the recliner so mommy could hold me and keep me happy while she slept some. I love sleeping on my mommy she was so warm and squishy :)

Day One

So he was born at 2:37pm :) So starts the first "day" of his life :) 

Ofcourse mommy had to dress him up in something cute :)

Since he had visitors eager to meet him :)

Including a very happy big sister :) 

Pretty sure it was love at first site :)

Nathan's Birth Story

While its still fresh from the day time to try to write up the birth story... Lets see if I can remain coherent enough :) lol

Went in Sunday evening the 22nd for cervidal. Which did start causing me some contractions. So needless to say I didn't sleep all that well. Maybe 3-4 hours. By 5 I was awake for the day. Ate breakfast and waited for pitocin to start around 6. Called Jason about 30 minutes after pit started cause contractions were getting rougher. Water was broken around 7:30-8. Contractions got closer and stronger...so we started out much like Em's... except my cervix wasn't changing too much. I then honestly broke down inside and asked for the epidural. Why I never had one before is beyond me! Those things are fantastic, lol.

So then for many hours we went through the game of rotating me from one side to another and checking me... I got to 9cm and just stalled. My cervix actually started swelling some too. I kept feeling tons of pressure and at this point could actually even move my legs some even though they were numb. Nothing was doing anything. So it was time to talk possible c-section. I was for it, honestly just wanted to get him here healthy and well :) Kassis suggested we check me again. She then had me try to push. With some confidence built from that went from possible section to pushing...and with some scary moments and a episotomy he was out :) All 9lbs 11ozs of him and his 21 inches in length :)

He stayed on my chest for an hour, attempted nursing even and it was wonderful :) He is here!

Another trip to L&D and 3ds of Nathan

Last night we went to L&D again. I was having contractions all day... here's the complete story:

Woke up around 3am.. yuck

Around 6:30 am started feeling some contractions/pains/cramps whatever you want to call them. I started timing them around 7. They were about 15 - 20 minutes apart.

Went for a "walk" with Wii Walk it out around 9am.

Took a nap around 10:30 for an hour.

Still having them, yet I stopped timing them. Somewhere just REALLY strong nonpainful ones, others were painful and tight but nothing crazy.

Took Em to preschool, went shopping, sewed somethings, brought Em to gymnastics. I noticed there things seemed to be happening more frequently. So after I got home I tried timing some more. During dinner they were about 2-3 minutes apart. So decided after dinner we might want to go to L&D to see what was going on.

Went in. They put me on the monitor for maybe an hour. Sent me home. Said I wasn't in enough pain and I was only 1cm dilated so to come back in when things progressed :\

And thats all she wrote. Here's some 3ds of Nathan :) Probably the last ones we will get before he's born :)

Outfit for Nathan from...

...Aunt Kathy and Uncle Dick :) 

Thank you! 

What you don't see is if you turn it around there is a tigger on the butt :) LOVE IT!
