Oooh I have the BEST, most wonderfully amazing and lovingly supportive husband (how’s that for using adjectives ) in the world!

Last night I was so tired, dizzy and had a horrifying headache…so BFing was kinda torturous….however my darling DH offered to sit up in bed with me and stay awake while I fed Will for support.

I told him to lie down and go back to sleep, but it was so touching that he asked.

Nothing really new to report…

I guess there is a little news… I will start some BCP my OB prescribed to me for nursing moms…. and Will hasnt slept much the last two nights…
he’s going through a growth spurt I think…

my mom and sister are coming tomorrow

At Will’s 14 day check-up he was:

6 lbs and 12 oz, measured 20 3/4″ and had a 35cm head circumference.

GUESS WHAT????

My pre-preg clothes (pants: size 2 Banana Republic and Size 4 Gap) FIT!!!!

We decided to do the bath today instead so no pics yet. I was really tired and just wanted to get into bed…

guess what?????

Will slept just about all night

He went to sleep around 10 and I had to wake him at 4 to eat he then slept from 5-8 and then 9-??? —- he’s still snoozing at 10:30

Today he had his FIRST milestone – His navel cord feel off

my little boy is growing up already…..

now its time for his FIRST bath

We are the PROUD NEW PARENTS of a baby boy!

He was 19.5″ Long

Well, I guess it is about time I write my birth story. My little Prince is a week old now. :love: (at the time I wrote this anyways)

My mom is here and everything is going great.

Last Tuesday I did all I could to kill time that day so it would pass. My mom and stepdad got to Austin around 5 or 6 and my sister arrived around 7:15. We headed out for Chinese. :lick:

I loved that stuff when I was pregnant but I havent really craved it since.

Anyways around 9 I took 2 Tylenol PM as approved by my OB and went to bed. Didnt get much sleep. Maybe an hour. I sleep more through the night with Will then I did Tuedsay.

I decided I couldn’t sleep anymore around 3:15. That’s 45 minutes before we planned to get up.  So  DH helped me in the shower and went decided to lie back down. I got out, dressed and woke up the rest of the house.

We were out the door on time!

When we got to the 3^rd floor and they took me to the monitoring room I just broke down in tears. I was so overcome with emotion I couldn’t hold back anymore. They weren’t tears of fear or anything like that. I was just finally a little nervous and excited and happy and so many different things all at once. Charlie and the nurse hugged me and then I was hooked up to the monitors.

We waited and waited. I saw my doctor and finally at 7:30 I saw the anestesiolgist. DH helped me into the surgery room as per my docs request and left while they tried the spinal.

It didn’t work. ?  She’s tried but it didn’t travel up so they put me under.

I woke up to my mom and Charlie. Charlie was showing me pics and video of Will when they brought him to me. I let him nurse and he latched on immediately! :jump2:

That’s about it. My throat hurt from having been under (that’s the worse part) so I got a little ice.

My family was there and it was wonderful being with everyone that I am close too.

My hospital stay was interesting. He was in the nursery more the first night than I wanted, but I couldn’t sleep so the rest of the time he only left to be assessed.

I let DH go home to get his last few nights of good sleep. I had lots of visitors and we came home Saturday.

Oh….one of Will’s nurse feel head over heels for him so I plan to keep in touch with her. She’s new to town as well so I think I may have a new friend.

At Will’s 6 day check-up he was:

6 lbs and 6 oz, measured 19 3/6″ and had a 34cm head circumference.
