this is the closest Easton would come the first day...seriously wanted NOTHING to do with him or me for that matter!
second day of hospital...warmed up a little. still holding him down in this pic.
me and the two cutest boys!
whole family shot...me and the three CUTEST boys! definitely outnumbered now!drugs + no sleep = me looking a little crazy!
going home...
at home...giving me the finger already! he did not like those pics!LABOR STORY: All of us (especially me) were anxiously awaiting August 19th because that's the day I was supposed to go in to be induced at 7 a.m. We get a call at 6 a.m. saying it was a no go because they had a couple of girls come in during the middle of the night in active labor. We called back around noon after still no phone call and they said for sure that night. When we called back that night they said a couple more girls went into active labor and that they could possibly induce me on Saturday! That's when I probably threw the most MAJOR adult fit ever, I wasn't sleeping at ALL at night and I was super cranky and ready to meet my little guy! The doctor called me back and promised me she would get me in by the morning. They had me call in at 4:30 a.m.- still a no, then at 5:30-still a no. After this I was convinced it was never gonna happen! I finally got a call about 7 a.m. saying they were ready for me! I came in, got started on pitocin, got the best epidural ever, went from a 4 to a 10 in a little over and hour, pushed about 6 times and he was out! Seriously twenty times better the second time around!!
So far he is the most content baby ever, a great sleeper, and a major eater! He has alot more hair than Easton had and way darker. We just couldn't be more in love with him! I seriously cry every day he gets bigger (the hormones make me a little crazy!) Easton is adjusting well now. He likes to give him hugs and kisses and say 'ohhh..baby brudder. he's SOO cute!!' I couldn't be more thrilled and feel blessed to be the mom of two adorable little boys! So glad also to have such a wonderful husband who is a major helper around the house and with the boys!
Well, I just saw your pics on facebook and then thought I should check out your blog to see if you posted a story. Congrats on the easy labor. I agree the 2nd time around is easier. And congrats on little Cohen! It's so fun to see you surrounded by all boys :) Good luck with having two.
ReplyDeleteOh, he is adorable! Congratulations! We SOOOOO need to talk. These hormones are a bugger and I too cry a lot. My labor was a breeze with Emma as well. Caleb has had a little hard time adjusting. He loves his sister but hates that he has to share his mom. It's been a long week but people say it gets better. Glad you have your little one here!

Both of your boys are sooo CUTE! It is fun we had our boys a week apart. I too cry a little everytime Kye changes and then I look at Cali and think where did the time go. I think we need to figure out how to freeze time :)
