Busy Busy Busy
Ok, for those of you who follow, or WAS following my blog I am so sorry for being MIA. With baby #5 arriving in this house, well, you can imagine what we have been doing. Its been an adjustment having SAMUEL OLIVER in our home, just with such a close age range with Sam and Zach things have been quite chaotic to say the least. Zach has always been such a mama's boy and well now that he has to fight for attention, we have been going thru this stage of SCREAMING if he doesnt get what he wants, or if there is something he does want that is how he lets us know he wants it. BOY. I have been dosing myself up with Tylenol on a daily basis to help relieve the headache.
I want to officially introduce you to SAMUEL OLIVER GRIGER. He was born April 29th at 9:30ish...I knew the offical time, but as some of you may know, by baby #3, 4 or 5, those little things arent as important, hey, at least I remembered the date and the correct month. He weighed 7lbs 1oz and the smallest of the bunch (although by u/s he was suppose to be big, that is why we induced a week early). We arrived at the hospital at midnight for the induction. We got the ball rolling at 2a, finally had all the paperwork done and the meds rolling and the ctx started a good 10 mins later. Worked w/ the contractions all early morning, got the epi at 830ish doc came in at 9ish, I was at 5 and he broke my water. He walked out of the room w/ the nurses, and not more than 5 mins later I told DH he needed to get the nurses that I thought I needed to push or that the meds were wearing off and I needed a bolus of meds. He left came right back w/ her, and sure enough, one pull back of the blanket and all H$^L breaks loose. She yells down the hall for help, and to page doc overhead, Mr. Sam was right there, knockin on the door. Mr. Sam was born right after doc walked in the room. 1 1/2 pushes and there he was. Perfect w/ a lil skid mark on the back of his head from comin down the shoot so fast ;) But just perfect.
I will try to keep up now w/ posting, now that things are getting a little better juggling time. Thanks for all the well wishes and emails!!
