Well I am home from the hopital. As you all know I was having a planned c-section, normally they like to give you a spinal so you are awake for the birth but they couldnt find the right spot to put the freezing stuff, cause I guess there is an exact place that you have to put it. So they ended up having to put me to sleep Sad. However one the plus side I wold think that the healing time is faster if you are put to sleep rather then frozen, cause when you wake up you are already in pain, and y ou dont have to wait for the freezing to come out before you can start moving. Nomally after a c-section they keep you in the hospital for 3 days but I got lucky and got to go home a day early, I was so happy, could not wait to get home...I do have some of the baby blues thougth, I am finally home but I still cant sleep in the same bed as my hubby because our bed is too high and I still have staples in. Also damien has a little bit of jandice and we have to keep and eye on it and he lost quite a bit of weight before we left teh hospital, so me being the worrier you all know I am worry about taht and him putting on weight. I am breast feeding with him so they put me on meds to make my milk come in and I would have to say that it worked, I leak like a sive (sry tmi) lol. He is a really really good sleeper, he only cries when he is hungry, or needs his bumb changed, but he sleeps all the time he is never awake unless I am feeding him, this moring iwas able to keep him up for a bit because I gave him a bath. I do have pictures on my computer but I am not sure how to get them on here, so if anyone can give me a hand with that I would love to show you a pic of my little man. Heres a litttle bith annoucement thing for you all.

Congrats! Welcome to the mommy club!

You'll need to host your pictures on a website, like imagecave.Com . Make sure they're resized! Kia has a neat sticky on how to resize them.

Once they're hosted and sized properly, you can post them here by typing:

hope that helps. I can't wait to see him!

Congratulations! I am glad that they let you out early. It would stink to be in there for too long. I hate hospitals.

Sheldons doing ok for the most part, the day I had damien they came to see me and sheldon got mad if anyone who was not family tried to hold him, lol, now sometimes he says that no one is paying attention to him and paying toomuch attention to damien lol, but for the most part he is good with him, he is a proud big brother.

And the meds they gave me for my milk flow was called domeperion (not really sure on the spelling).
