first week home

so we are finally home
YIPPPEEEEE!!!!!
i do miss being at home even though that means dishes, cooking, cleaning and lets just say diapers....
yes it is true once one diaper is changed another one is right behind it
i never thought it would be such and endless cycle
i think we need to pay someone just to stand by the changing table and be prepared to be handed a baby
okay i know you don't want to hear about poop so let me tell you the real story
everything is going well
sadie really likes watching silas
she laughs every time he cries and states "he's funny"
she also calls him "si" and loves to kiss and hug him
so far (knock on wood) we have seen so jealous tears or no fussiness
"mema" was a great help playing with sadie and teaching her how to crash cars
the past few mornings sadie has woken up going "mema where are you?"
than she says "she in island"
silas sleeps A LOT which is great
he nurses every three hours than sleeps for two or three
he hardly makes a sound....but when he does his face gets all red and he sounds like a goose
mom is doing well she is up and moving around
i did end up getting a c-section
for those of you who do not know i had a far number of complications after sadie
so silas is sort of a miracle baby if you will
so the birth story is not all that interesting
i started having contractions called my doc and into the hospital we went....
my contractions never got more than 5 minutes apart but there was no way he was going to come any other way aside from a c-section.....
the good news is....this time i did not go through 36 hours of labor so the recovery period has been really really good
well baby calls
i will try to keep updating as things happen
but so far we are one happy little family adjusting to late nights and for me bland food

happy b-day silas webster!

Silas Webster was born on feb 17 at 2:42 am
he is 9 lbs and 20 1/2 inches long
we are all doing well and yes i am updating the blog from the hospital....
love modern technology
well i am sure you are interested in long dry text containing the story of his birth...but i am going to keep this short and sweet and give you all lots and lots of pictures
we should be going back home on friday maybe thursday b/c mom and baby and doing so well
sadie has meet her little brother and is still more interested in elmo...but she did sit down in the nursing chair and hold her arms out to hold him....
well until later enjoy the pictures
sending our best to all

week 41......

41 weeks
yippeee we made it
through rain, sleet, ice storms, wind storms and a car accident?
yes you heard that right.....
sadie, grandma (renamed mema) and bec got in a car accident
the good thing is it happened at the end of our street....
the bad thing is it happened
so what does this mean....it means we have a cadillac
yes you heard me....we tried to get a mini van to rent but instead we got a cadillac a nice big black shiny cadillac
so #2 will be riding home in style
plush leather seats V8 engine what more could a new born want...
well obviously he does not want to leave his current home otherwise i think a car bump would of done it
the ambulance came and were surprised that even this car accident did not get him going....
we are all okay though
sadie slept through the whole thing clutching her new ernie doll
mema did not even gasp which was good and aside from me having a few aches in pains in my back we are doing well
and yes for all of you that are wondering it was the new car....
at this rate not sure what the damage was done to our car....pretty sure the other car will be totaled
it was driving a little too fast...and drove up on top of a stone planter....i was doing 5 mph getting ready to turn onto our street thus the reason sadie slept through everything
so that is our story for the week
getting a rental caddy and waiting.....
we have had a fun time playing before all this
went to the children's museum and watched mema run run run
enjoy the day and keep checking back
