A Day in the Life

Well, at 38 1/2 weeks, Ayden decided to meet his family. It's really quite a story, but I won't blab too much. At about 2:58pm on Monday, 7/27, my water broke while sitting in my chair at work....and yes, it caused quite a scene! I started getting some painful contractions about an hour later. I waited through those for about an hour and received my epidural at about 6pm or so. Ayden was born at 7:14pm, measuring in at 8lbs 6oz and 18 1/2 in long. He has a head full of long dark hair and a set of lungs that can make you ears ring. It all happened so fast, that I don't think it hit me until the next day. At 4 days old he was jaundice and had to wear a bili band around his belly for one night. He went through 3 mornings of blood work and then he was all better. Addy is just loving her baby brother. She has been such a good big sister so far, wanting to hold him and making sure he's ok all the time. It's such a joy to have our family completed with a little brother for Addy.
