Nolan’s Birth *

The night before the induction Hubby and I were so nervous we stayed up almost the whole night talking, I think we only got about two hours of sleep. At 3:30am I woke up and took a bath, and then we headed for the hospital.
It was so foggy when we left the house that you [...]

We’re Home!

Nolan was born at 4:34pm on 11/05/09. 7lbs 4oz and 18 inches long.
He does have a huge head. And REALLY long fingers. And HUGE feet. And a big nose.
He is fantastically perfect and I can’t stop kissing and loving on him.
I did not get my VBAC, though I got pretty darn far.
At 5 cm my water [...]

38 Weeks (tomorrow)

[According to the Dr's dates at least. Again, according to mine, I won't be 38 weeks until Sunday. ]
ANYHOW – I should have mentioned on yesterday’s post that I do NOT have pre eclampscia – though I appreciate the concern. =)
They checked me for it over and over at the hospital and again today at my [...]

::Whimper::

 
These are what used to be my feet. They are so swollen that I can stick my finger in the flesh and it leaves a hole. I’m like human play-dough. I have no idea if this is normal or not, but I have an appointment tomorrow morning, so we’ll see. The swelling is actually throughout [...]
