Some Pictures







Stomach sleeper

No. Not Brendan, me. OMG, it is the best feeling ever. I was a stomach sleeper before becoming pg and after I had Brendan I still couldn't sleep on my stomach due to the incision. Even thou I am only getting about 3 hours of sleep at a time, it is the best sleep ever. I am so glad to be back to my normal sleeping ways. No only if they could be say, 4 or 5 hours long.

St. Lukes Family Birthing Center

I wanted to take a minute and tell how awesome St. Luke's Hospital is.

The nurses at the Birthing Center will forever be in my hearts. They all went above and beyond to take care of all of us.

If you are expecting and you have a choice of where you can deliver, I hands down 100000% recommend you deliver here.

My two favorites nurses were Stephanie (night shift) and Pam (day shift) I will NEVER forget these girls. They BOTH made sure all three of us were happy and well taken care of. I cant beging to thank them enough.

Some of the extra bonuses that come along with delivering here include the following:
For Brendan, the lady's auxiliary gave him and afghan with his name and birth date embroidered on it. They also make little hats. Unfortunately they didn't have any little blue ones, so he has a yellow one.

For mom and dad on our last night there they served us with a very nice dinner. I had surf and turf and B had chicken cordon bleu. Lets not forget the Oreo pie for dessert.

For every night you were there, they had a little midnight snack in the fridge for you. And if you were ever still hungry or didn't like what you were served, all you had to do was asked for something else and it was brought to your room.

Ya know, I could go on and on about this place the the nurses, but I wont. I will say it again, if you have the choice, have your baby there! You will be SO happy you did.

Updates

I know it seems like forever since I last posted, but I feel as thou Brendan is ALWAYS attached to the boob. The boy eats non stop.

We are all doing well. I cant believe my little boy is a month old. Time sure is flying and before I know it, I will have to return to the j-o-b.

B and I had our first date night on Saturday. We then vowed to have a date night once a month. It was SO nice to enjoy a hot meal. I seriously have the best husband ever. He was the one who suggested I get some time away from Brendan since I have been with him 24/7 since he was born.

I have recently started pumping. This way B can feed Brendan when he gets home from work and B can help feed Brendan in the middle of the night on the weekends. It also ensures father son bonding.

Brendan and I took our first trip to the Toledo Zoo on Monday. He slept thru the entire trip. Maybe next time when B can join us, he will be awake for at least a little of it.

That's all I have for now. I'll be back to post pictures later.
