2 weeks :)

So FatBoy is 2 weeks old today and he is such a good baby! He has taken to nursing easily and we have recently been able to put him in his crib in between feedings at night! He is very calm and just happy to look around at all the lovely new sights and sounds in the house. I am so blessed to have such a sweet little boy.

The rest of the story of his birth:

This time was much easier than it was with Speed. I only had to push about 8 times (15 minutes vs. 4 hours). Unfortunatley, he got stuck coming out. It is called shoulder dislocatia (sp?). His left shoulder was stuck under my pelvic bone. It took a couple of minutes to get him out and by the time they did, he was purple. My Dr had the presence of mind to warn me about this happening beforehand though so I wasn't totally freaking out, just a little bit!!! Because he was so hard to get out, the stuff in his nasal cavities and airways was hard to get out so they had to intibate him. I could at least hear him crying around the tube though so I knew he was here!

He spent that night and the next day in the NICU for observation. They had to make sure his shoulder was OK because the dislocatia can cause nerve damage. They said it usually goes away, but not always. Well we are really lucky, as he does not show any signs that he has any nerve damage! They also put him on an IV for food. They wanted me to wait to feed him.

The whole family was able to go visit him that evening, but I had to wait till the next morning before I could hold him and feed him. After I started feeding, they had to wean him off the IV, and so about 4 am the next night I got to finally have him in the room with me! He is perfectly fine and healthy, and adorable :) I am not a little biased or anything, though. I plan on getting some pictures of him today to add to this a little later.

One of his aunts and a cousin are coming in a couple of weeks to visit us all, and maybe Grammy too (fingers crossed).

Oh and I got the custom made crib dust ruffle and comforter that Grammy (my mom) made for him in the mail yesterday. I will have to get pictures of that too. She is still working on the panels for the windows and I still have to go get stuff for the walls. Yes I know I am a slacker, but I had to have the crib stuff to match wall decor too first! Anyway!!

Thank you for all your lovely and sweet comments! Sara, I am going to have to go on a search for baby crossfit stuff!! Oh and speaking of Crossfit, I have 2 more weeks before I am allowed to workout again! I can't wait!!!!!! Of course I am going to be really sore at first!!! That part I can wait for, he he!
