He's perfect!!!! He's everything we've ever wanted and is such a sweetheart. He already has so much personality!
That was the short story.....and the long story is.....(drum roll please)

We arrive at the hospital 9am tuesday morning to register, get up to the room, and prepare for surgery! Hospital was running late as was our dr so we were supposed to have him 11:30 am when he finally came at 1:38 pm. We walked into the surgical room at 1:30, sat down, got my spinal block, which i thought i was getting an epidural so i was freaking out, shaking and bawling, come to find out, i didn't even feel them insert the numbing needle let alone the spinal block, catheder, or cut my open....so....it was very quick. They don't mess around when it comes to pulling out a baby!
I actually kind of like the feeling of them pulling, tugging, whatever you want to call it when my legs were numb, and I'm not in that much pain now....little in my sholder at first but nothing i couldn't handle....so maybe i am pretty good at this whole baby making thing!
Dr said he was a mule when he was pulling him out.....it took 2 dr's pulling him out and one pushing down on the top of my stomach....
We're breastfeeding but its not going as well as we had hoped! Started out well until one of the nurses gave him a bottle. Now he knows how easy it is to get what he wants...so trying doesn't sound too good to him.....
I would say I'm doing pretty good only having 1 1/2 hrs of sleep in 43 hrs!!!! Here goes another night of sitting up watching over him!

Until next time....
