Meeting Brother

I admit I was very nervous about how well S would do with the new baby, but she has been great and loves him dearly!  She "loves him" a little too much so I have to stay in between them most of time:)  I have loved watching the two of them interact especially now that he is getting older and is really interactive with her.  All she has to do is talk and he immediately smiles.  When she first saw him in the hospital she wasn't so sure, she walked in very timidly and wouldn't really look at him.  We let her hold him and after a few minutes she kissed and hugged him and after that it was like he had always been here and she was completely comfortable around him.

Wow, it has been a long time since my last post!  I do believe that I have a pretty good excuse for my absence though:)  We have welcomed a beautiful baby boy into our family and are completely in love, again.  He was born on May 25th at 1:30ish in the a.m., yes for some reason I only seem to give birth in the middle of night.  He weighed 8lbs. 12oz. and was 20 and 1/4 inches long.  His birth was pretty fast and easy compared to my first birthing experience, which was fast also, but not anywhere close to easy!  I had S naturally with no drugs and was only in labor about 6 hours.  My fear with this one was that I would feel that first contraction and panic because it was such a painful experience last time.  Well, that is exactly what happened!  My contractions were strong and painful from the beginning so I told K pretty much right away that there is no way I could do it again because I knew exactly what was coming this time around.  I begged them to get me an epidural as fast as possible, and from that point on it was a completely pain free experience!  I went from watching HGTV to pushing in a matter of 30 minutes, and I felt nothing.  I wouldn't trade either experience because they were both amazing in their own way.  I am just so thankful that he is here and happy and healthy as he can be!
