I'm slowly trying to adjust back to new mommy life with a newborn. I totally forgot about the 3 hrs of sleep for me at night and frequent feedings and diaper changes but it's all worth it. Theodore was born on Dec. 12, 8 lbs and 3 ozs. I was induced and now that's it's all done and over with, the process wasn't so scary like I thought it would be. I had read all these stories of women who were induced about how the pitocin gave them stronger and longer contractions and inductions where it resulted in emergency c-sections...totally freaked me out because a c-section is definitely not what I would want, but when it comes down to getting baby out, you really have no choice right? Thank goodness my labor was quick. I got the pitocin at around 8 am and had my baby at 1:27 pm. And it's been over a week and I feel great, my recovery was quicker this time than with my first son.
Theodore is a perfect, healthy boy. He looks a lot like his brother when he was a newborn. My 2yr old son is a terrific big brother as well. When Teddy cries, he gives the pacifier or bottle to me to give to Teddy. One day I was sucking out some boogers from Teddy's nose with the aspirator and Alex was crying because I guess he thought I was hurting his brother (Teddy does not like getting his nose cleaned). He actually took the aspirator away from me and said 'no' with the saddest look on his face. What a caring little boy I have! My two little boys. I wonder what kind of trouble they'll get in to together when they are older :)
