Update After a Long Hiatus

Well, lots has changed since my last post. After I gushed about having such an uneventful pregnancy, it wasn't long before I was in the emergency room with severe abdominal pain. After several days in the hospital I was diagnosed with appendicitis and had an appendectomy during spring break at about 25 wks pregnant...what a way to spend my vacation. Anyway, it all went well and thank God the baby was fine. He was a little fighter. So, after all that drama I wasn't concerned at all about giving birth. After all the poking and prodding in the hospital, the excrutiating pain of surgery and recovery and the sheer exhaustion of the process, I thought giving birth would be a breeze.

And...it was! Due to Brady being breech and so big (thought to be 9 lbs. 10 oz. at 36 weeks) We had our bouncing baby boy on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 at 7:15 a.m. He weighed 10 lbs. 8 oz. and was 21.5 inches long. He was perfect and we were so excited to be parents!

We have had so many wonderful visitors to help us welcome him into the world. We are have been so blessed to have so many friends and family to help us get settled and take care of him. It has been a whirlwind since we brought him home from the hospital.



He is now 5 weeks old and the absolute light of our lives. Although having him with us has been an adjustment, Todd and I couldn't be happier. He is getting bigger and more alert every day. If he would just start sleeping a little more at night, we would all be happier! But he is so sweet that we can't be mad at him for keeping us up!
