Our Gift From Above





So much is going on in our life right now! With a newborn things change daily, so this is a way to be sure family and friends can keep up with this little guy.
Our life completely changed on September 9, 2008. That was SUCH a long day! I'll try to give you a shortened overview of our day.... I was induced, in labor for 12 hours, pushed an hour, my blood pressure dropped drastically, they had to turn my epidural OFF, pushed another hour, made no progress, rushed to cesarean, epidural turned back on, felt the doctor cut me open (epidural didn't work), was knocked out, J was born at 6:28 P.M., and finally I was consciously aware that I had a son at 7:50 P.M. NOT exactly how I had anticipated having a child, but (I know I sound crazy) I would do it all over again! I feel as though I love him more and more every day!
It's been five weeks now, and we cannot get enough of this little man....and neither can the grandparents! They are actually the main reason I started this. I hope it's able to keep you informed. Just bare with me. I'm new at this, and I haven't quite figured everything out yet!
