Long awaited...

Whew!!! What a difference a week makes!!! Sorry for not writing sooner but as you can probably imagine - been a little busy and sleep deprived!!! Let's recap:
6/16/11 - went to the hospital to get monitored around 4:30. Everything looked great but they wanted to do an ultra sound just to make sure. During the US we were told she's already 9lbs... Yes, you can imagine my reaction!!! WOW - can I do this??? Suppose it's a bit too late to turn back now - besides, haven't women been doing this for 100's of years!!!
We got home around 7:30- had dinner - wasn't really feeling well but just thought that was normal - we decided to go to bed around 9:45 - yes, had to use the restroom before turning in... That's when the fun started! Water broke and it was off to the hospital at 10!!

Arrived - of course, still leaking - and got checked in. "this is it" I kept telling myself - can I get through this??? Of course I can cause I have the most amazing husband by my side!!! @ 11 I was only 1 cm... 2am got my epideral... Around 3:30 or so they gave me pitocin and I was about 2.5 cm... 4am I was 4cm ... 5 am I was 9 cm... By the time my doc got there around 6am I was 10 cm+ ( didn't know you could but apparently you can!) next words out her mouth were ' you ready to push...'

Brynleigh Renn Wilson born 6/17/11 6:50 am 6lbs 14 oz 20 in long!!!

6/19/11 - happy father's day!!!! We brought Brynleigh home!!! Grandparents and Aunt Mandy were still here... Mom, my wonderful mom, stayed the week with us - I can't imagine what would've happened if she wouldn't have been here - definitely my saving grace!!!

6/24/11 - mom goes home. NO!!!! Guess I knew she'd have to go home sometime!!!
First night alone - not gonna lie, a bit rough!! I think it was only because we needed to rearrange the schedule some due to Dray going back to work on Monday.

Now today... Up at 6am - feeding - went for our first walk at 7am - ate breakfast, took shower, fed again, had wake time for a bit and now it's sleep time and I decided to do a quick update ( is this quick - I mean typing in this iPad doesn't seem so fast!!! )

There ya have it - like I said... Been a busy/sleep deprived week!!!

What's up next... I promise to post pics (either I can't figure out how to do it from the iPad or it's just something that can't be done ) ... Aunt Lori & Uncle Frank will be here over July 4th, Uncle Chad may come too ... Expect mom & dad to come again after that as well as Aunt Mandy and we have Aunt Alicia coming to visit the weekend of July 22nd ... Our calendar is booking up and we love it!

Till next time...
