Oh Baby!
This little man just wants to give us a run for our money. *SIGH* The last two days have been fairly uneventful, as he was just sedated and letting his little body recover from the traumatic surgery. But Stevie’s blood pressure was dropping every couple hours throughout the day. They kept bringing it back up…
Leaving Him...
Tonight, my husband and I decided we had to get some sleep. In our own bed. And I thought I’d be fine with that decision. Until 11pm rolled around and I actually had to leave my little boy’s side. I cried significantly less today as the newness of all this settles in. But as I…
32 Hours and Counting
Today has had some ups and downs. The first 24 hours since we found out about Stephen’s condition were a whirlwind. He was transferred to Children’s Hospital much quicker than anticipated and put right on the schedule for the surgery. We were so happy that things were moving quickly because that meant he would get…
Scariest Day of My Life
Officially. I would say it was the worst day of my life, but I’m trying to stay positive and realize it could have been so much worse. It all started when little Stevie had his 2 week check-up with the pediatrician. When we saw the nurse to measure and weigh him, she looked really concerned…
This Week in Parenthood...
Baby: He opened his eyes for the first time. He lost a whole pound, but gained 8 ounces back. He was a little jaundice, but nothing that the pediatrician was concerned about. He’s struggling with breastfeeding (I was told he was a hand-sucker in the womb, so that apparently makes him want to kill me…
Baby's Here!
More to come, but just had to share the news. Little Stevie P Born December 23rd, 2010 6:44am 7 lbs 0 oz., 19 1/4 inches long I am smitten, overwhelmed, exhausted… but most importantly, amazed at what I have experienced and learned in just the last few days. Ain’t he delish???!
Contractions
Another long, sleepless night filled with labor pains – and no baby to show for it… By about 4am, the contractions got down to 9 minutes apart and I kept thinking “Here we go!” But at 6am, they just stopped. While I am grateful for the break, I won’t lie – I’m getting impatient. I…
36 weeks - 9 months along (!!)
Upside: Yes, we hit the 9 MONTH mark! Pretty soon we’ll be counting down days instead of weeks. Über-exciting.Downside: I got my first stretch marks, dangit! They are mostly on the underbelly, but I started using Maderma the day I found them. (That stuff is $35 big ones! Geez.) But hoping the squigglers don’t get…
Baby Shower
Well after all my moaning and groaning about how hard it is being pregnant, my wonderful sister-in-law went and threw us the best baby shower in the whole wide world. Seriously, you would not believe how awesome it was. We had quite a guest list and she made accommodations for everyone – all 65 friends,…
