How Time Flies

Everyone I’ve talked to has said it, the books I’ve read say it, and I’m here to confirm, that yes, time sure flies with a new baby. Those comments about you realize at 8:00 p.m. that you haven’t even gotten dressed (”what have I done today?!”) have come true for me already on more [...]

Better Nights, Our First Outing, One Week Old!

The last couple of nights have been much better than Monday. Mac has slept between feedings, and last night even had to be woken up for them! I know this means we are very spoiled, and I’m not naive enough to think it will last forever, but even one or two nights like [...]

Settling In?

Well, not quite yet. Mac had a rough night, and therefore so did I. Jeremy was going to have to work today, so I tried to let him sleep as much as possible. Mac didn’t so much want to sleep, or at all. We had our regular feedings, during and after [...]

First Full Day at Home

The evening wasn’t too terrible. We took turns getting up with Mac and were both able to get a decent amount of sleep. When he woke at around 8, he fed well and then slept in his new crib while I was able to eat breakfast and catch up with some blog posts and [...]

We’re Home!

After both Mommy and Mac were checked out by the doctors, we were able to finally leave the hospital around 3:00 and take our son home for the first time. What a relief! He seems to like his surroundings, too - the glider chair gets his seal of approval! We are certainly glad to be [...]

Day 2

It is day two here at the hospital and things are going very well. Jill and Mac are learning a lot about breastfeeding. Jill is doing better as well. she has been out to walk a few times and is no longer hooked up to anything. Nana Bleifuhs and Grandma [...]

A new Mac in the house

Ok, so I know I have not been able to do any updates today, but that is because things started moving really quickly. At 9:30 this morning the doctor decided that a few things were not looking good. All signs were pointing towards a really long labor with a C-section at [...]

Epidural

The Epidural is on it’s way. yeah for drugs.

7 a.m.

Well things are going well, from the sense that the baby is moving along. Jill is very uncomfortable, but knows that this is all good now. They are not going to administer potosin to help speed things along now, since Jill is doing things on her own now. So we get to [...]

5 a.m.

Jill has had her second dose of Fentanyl. this is basically to take the edge off the contractions she is having since they are happening about every 1-2 minutes. They will be calling the doctor now to figure out what she wants to do now, but we should be starting Potosin in about [...]
