I’m home!

12. July 2008 by Julie.

Well I;m home now.  Feels weird without lil Ryan, though.  He’s absolutely adorable.  Both jessie and Thomas were born bald and Ryan has all this silky black hair.  But he has to be left at the hospital for another week or two. We went back for his feeding this morning and will go back tonight for his 6:00 feeding.  They have certain times that they feed at.  We miss him but in one way after Jessica, it doesn’t phase us. Hopefully we’ll get out of it soon.  They say be patient but those ran out a long time ago.  I just want normalcy.  I never expected to go so early.  Had Braxton Hicks for a few months but then had contractions on Monday that never really went away. I thought I was 10-12 min apart but they were really 2-4 min apart.  So I was told to go over to the hopsital.  I had a c-section which I would do again in a heartbeat over a vaginal birth.  I have so much trouble with them recovering that a c-section isn’t all that bad.  I’m very sore but I’m trying to not take my pain meds.  They are pretty potent and I was on them for 5 days.  Ibuprofen is just going ot have to work for now . I’m giving breastfeeding a try but I have always struggled with it.  I just want to get to my die date at least.  It’ll be good for him.  The nurses have so nice and they all get a kick out of Ryan.  He’s already a social bug.  If someone is talking and he’s up, Ryan looks around to see who it is. Just like his brother.  We laugh when it happens.  Well, thanks for all your comments.  I know Jessie is looking down on us.  I;ve asked her to keep on Ryan and to help make him stronger so we can take him home.  I’m ready for all the chaos.  I hope everyone enjoys their weekend.  Again, thanks for all the encouragement.
