Love the gown...love the gown.
I was thinking about whether or not I should write down the birth story and I decided to leave that to my journal. All I will say is that the epidural didn't quite work and I felt it all (or so I think) It happened fast though so for that I am grateful. I give props to you natural women!! I don't want to scare anyone that hasn't given birth yet because it really is the most special, exhilarating, spiritual, incredible experience ever and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Caleb was the best coach ever, if I could take away the pain and oxygen mask I would have been laughing my head off at him. He was so completely into it and intrigued beyond belief. We didn't take a birthing class but he would have passed it with an A+. He thought he wouldn't be able to handle it but he took it like a champ. I was so glad to have him there by my side and in my face counting...very very slowly :) or so it seemed. Nothing could have prepared me for that experience and I will never forget it. I have already forgotten what the pain was like but I think that is so I will do it again :) and you better believe I will.
First Bath!
The Happy Family!
Our special feast at the hospital.
I really enjoyed our stay at the hospital and was actually sad to leave...is that weird? You are always safe and taken care of. They have everything you need, and will do anything to make you feel better. Meds, jetted tubs, the yummy ice, maxi pads, dermoplast :) and the food was not bad at all. And there is a button to adjust your bed! Brilliant...since I don't have any ab muscles to sit up by myself.
Have you ever seen such long toes?
If you couldn't tell we are obsessed with him. He has stolen our hearts and has our complete attention 24/7. I still can't believe that he is here and caleb and I are parents. Kind of a scary thought!
He is sleeping and eating like a champ and we couldn't be happier to have our little man here!
aww congrats! He's absolutely PERFECT!
