A few days before our little guy came
Fresh out of the oven!!
9lbs 4 oz. 21 inches
Benny gets to meet Blue Doggy
Food! even hospital food--- give it to me!!
On our way home
Ive been meaning to post some pics of the Baby but we have camera cord problems so I have finally caved in and am just putting MOBILE pics on here!
We love little Ben he is so healthy and strong- a miracle!! He was weighed yesterday and was 10 lbs 7 oz already! I feel like I have a 2 month old compared to my other kids! I FINALLY have my dark haired baby too! I hope he stays dark that is!....
(Yes-- I am typing this while feeding at 4 am!)
I wanted to do a natural birth- no induction and no pain meeds!! So with some meditation, hypo birthing playing in my ears, lamaze 101 (and anything else I could read for that matter) tucked away in my little brain, I drank my orange juice castor oil concoction at 41 wks and I was on my way into labor!!! It was so quick and fast!! I fell asleep at 11:00 pm the night before thinking I might be feeling regular contractions. I woke up at 1:30 am when my 2 year old had to pee. The contractions were regular! I was still having them! At 2:30 I woke up robert and called my sis-in-law! Arrived at hospital by 3:30 and baby arrived a half hour later!! It was awesome!
With all the preparation for Birth, I neglected a bit the preparation for postpartum- lets just say that things are wild over here and my emotions are unstable! Pray all three of my children will be live to see the light of each new day! Ha just kidding, kind of...... . What a great experience having three ACTIVE BOYS is too- it is WILD but it is LIFE and I am happy to be busy living it!

Oh April, he is sooooo adorable! I too tried to do a natural birth in the beginning, but they had to induce me because I had gestational diabetes and they were afraid she'd be too big. Funny she only weighed 7lb 3oz. Totally average. I made it till an 8 on pitossin for 3 hours and used my hypno birthing lessons to keep it under control. then they told me that since I hadn't progressed in 3 hours they would have to do a c-section. I was so mad I had made it so far with no drugs! I'm hoping to have a vback on my next birth and do natural all the way.
Way to go super woman!
Oh, and post pardum gave me CRAZY thoughts, but everyone told me that would happen. Dustin was afraid to leave me alone after my mom went home. And I cried uncontrollably every time Dustin would come home from work, like SOBBING! It'll pass give it like a month!
Loved the pictures, love you!
