1:48 PM on 10/8.
6.5 hours of labor. no epidural just some morphine which took Mommy to a happy place. Mommy did so great. She thinks it was her coaches but all I did was let my hand be squeezed so hard that I have to type with one hand.... :)
8 lbs 13 oz - so big already!
20" long
2 dimples and a full head of hair!
Car ride home - he was crying the whole way. Guess we need to work on that one.
First night at home - he is a little uncomfortable but he has been doing better. A little gassy... Luckily we have a lot of good help from the Walkers and Alisha these first few days.
Current favorite activity - eating! The lactation specialist called him the barracuda. Is it good that he has a firm latch but poor kimmy...
Sleeping - over the shoulder. I wander around and he just is sleepy, and I just keep smelling his gas which makes me pretty sleepy from the fumes....
on our way home!
Kimmy ! congratulations !!!! almost 9 pounds, wow !
ReplyDeleteCaleb looks really beautiful and healthy. I haven't seen you in so long , but I'm so happy for you and your husband.
Congratulations you guys. He is amazing. The gas is bad I know, and I wish I could tell you that it gets better, but at least for us it hasn't. There is a pretty benign medicine called Mylicon or Simethicone that we use quite frequently! It helps a lot. It sounds like Kimmy did amazing, only Morphine, that is awesome. You guys are awesome parents already. Not that we are experts, but if you have any questions, don't hesitate. Congrats!
