He arrived yesterday around 2:00. A whopping 8 lbs. 9 oz.! C-section went well…pain meds after knocked me on my ass! I’ll be able to post more later, but wifi here at the hospital keeps dropping. There’s a few more pics at Flickr, but I’ll be marking them friends only pretty soon. Hope to be home tomorrow…
Our baby boy June 22, 2007
The last day June 20, 2007
Tomorrow we officially become a family of five. It seems unreal. I mean it literally was just last year that Southern Girl came into our lives. I can’t believe how fast this pregnancy has passed. It seems like just a couple of months ago that it was October and we found out we were expecting again. Time does fly, as “they” say. The kids and I had a great last day together…we cuddled on the couch this morning, went out for breakfast, went to a couple of stores, came back home for naps, etc, then went swimming this afternoon (who knows when I’ll be able to get in a pool again this summer!). Tonight, Southern Boy asked me to sit with him on the couch and watch Disney, so I stopped my packing and sat down. He played with my hair and so earnestly looked me in the eye and said “Mama, do you love me?” I told him of course I did, and he laughed and said “I know that!” We snuggled while we watched some show, and he fell asleep. He seems much more confidant about what’s going to happen tomorrow, mostly due to him remembering Southern Girl being born last year, but I know that he knows one more sibling in the house means less one on one time for him (this saddens me deeply). Now Southern Girl is a complete other story…I am so worried about her adjusting to a baby in the house. She is still very much our baby, which won’t change, but I just hope she’s not jealous of all the attention and time the new baby will require. We’ll see how it all turns out, cause there’s no turning back now!
I’ll send updates at some point tomorrow…I’m not sure how often. Be sure to check out my Flickr page, because I’m sure that’s where most updates will go.
What tha? June 18, 2007
All these celebrities are dropping babies, yet I’m still hanging in there. Totally not fair!
If mother nature doesn’t let me go on my own this week, they’ve scheduled me for an induction on Thursday morning. Luckily it’s with my favorite doctor in the practice, so that helps. The thing is, I truly don’t hurt at all. I have swollen fingers and feet, I feel enormous, and I can’t sleep at night because the belly gets in the way OR I’m peeing every hour, BUT I’m not hurting. I guess I should quit my complaining and enjoy my last few days with only 2 children…I have a feeling things will get hairy this weekend when we introduce #3 into the house!
Things that make you go hmmm June 11, 2007
Why is it that all kinds of spam has no trouble getting posted to my comments, yet real people can’t comment because certain posts are wacked out? Case in point last night’s post. Oh, well. Comments may or may not work until some indefinite point in the future. I’d hate to get my hopes up or anything. Bah.
Still here…still no baby June 10, 2007
I’m still pregnant…going on month 23. At least it feels like it! I haven’t been around much at all because we’ve been decorating 2 nurseries. NO, I haven’t been holding out on y’all…we are NOT having twins. We moved Southern Girl to the guest bedroom, and we are moving the baby into Southern Girl’s original nursery. Both moves involved lots of paint, and I am proud to say that the baby’s room is finally ready to be decorated. I’ve got pics of Southern Girl’s room (the room from the pic below) that I will upload to Flickr soon, and I’ll take pics of the baby’s room when we get the finishing touches on it (hopefully by Tuesday night!). All I know is, I have done very little of the work portion of getting the rooms ready, but I am absolutely worn out. I wake up tired. And cranky. I toss back and forth between wanting this baby out NOW and wanting it to stay in as long as possible because the thought of three kids (two of whom are 16 months apart) scares the living shit out of me. Oh well, too late to back out now, right?
