Henry Craig has arrived
October 7, 2010
7:11 am
8lbs. 6oz.
20 3/4 in.
We’ve been home a week now. I was more nervous for this labor and delivery than I was with Katelyn. I thought Katelyn’s birth was relatively easy and I was so nervous I’d have some sort of complication. But it was so good. Now with the next child I’m going to be nervous that it wont go as well as Henry’s. :) haha My water broke at 3:00 in the morning and 4 hours later here he was. I got scared there for a little bit though. My contractions were really close together. No more than 90 sec to 2 min. apart. I thought my biggest fear was about to happen. That the labor would happen too quickly and the anesthesiologist wouldn’t get there in time to give me an epidural. Luckily he made it and it was smooth sailing from there on out. Unlike Kate’s delivery where I had to push for an hour I only had to push 3 times before he was out. Everything turned out great. He’s healthy and I’m doing great. The recovery has been really good.
There are so many things about having a newborn that are just the best….
-the way he smells is so yummy
-his cry
-his sneezing
-funny and scrunched faces he makes in his sleep are so cute
-when he cuddles into you
-because right now it’s for such a short time-when he’s awake
-and much more
We love having this new little man around. He is so precious!
