Just stopping by to let you guys know that our son was born early Tuesday morning! 7lb 10oz and 21.5" long. He looks like his daddy with dark hair. And a LOT like my DD too. He is almost a full pound heavier than my DD was and 2" longer! But I carried him a full week longer too.
I wasn't expecting to have a baby when I left the house Monday afternoon. I'd have stuck around and done things like laundry and packing DD's bag! I had an appointment with my doctor late in the day and I never got to go home. I had preeclampsia bad when I went into labor with my DD that contributed to her needing time in the NICU. So when a test I did over the weekend put me at a mild level for it again; my OB said it was time to have a baby. He scheduled me for an induction the next morning but I had to have an ultrasound first. That showed my labor needed to start sooner rather than later so I literally got walked up to Labor & Delivery. I was waiting for them to come in with my meds and things while making a million phone calls when I started laboring on my own. I still was given the meds of course and I ended up with a much quicker labor than with my DD; which was very nice.
Little Man is healthy and happy as any newborn could be. It's nice having a tiny one to snuggle again! And so far DD is doing well with him. She is enjoying having DH around so much too. My MIL should be coming for a week or two before DH goes back to work so I have some good help lined up. I'm not sure she plans to do any night shift work; but I'll take what I can get! My Mother is local too.
You might not see as much of me for a bit. It kind of depends on how full my hands are on a day to day, minute by minute, basis. But I'll be back!!
