My Favorite Hobby

It's great being a four-week old baby! Ah, the life! Eat, Sleep & you know the rest. Besides eating, I love to Sleep, but ONLY when my mom & dad are AWAKE! I enjoy being their little "Monster" during the night and keeping them up and pre-occupied. Here are a couple of my favorite shots of me in "La La Land"...enjoy (I sure did)!

Happy Birthday to my Great Grandpa!

Da Da, Just wanted to say "Happy Birthday"! I can't wait to come see you all again so Mimi can play with my little hands and give me plenty of "sugars". Don't forget that I smell like "Roses"! I look forward to eating quite a few "Chicken Dinners $4.50" you!

The BIG Day!

Lil Autumn Rae decided that December 12th was going to be the big day. Julie awoke around 5:15am when her water broke. Mike & me arrived at Northside hospital around 8:00am and were immediately admitted to room 1A.

We were very fortunate. We were assigned an excellent nurse, Megan, who put many of my fears to rest. I was administered Petocin to bring on the contractions, but 8 hours later, my cervix had not softened nor did Autumn drop down in the birth canal. What did that mean? The dreaded C-Section (which turned out to be a blessing).

Originally, Dr. Blank said it would be around 5:30pm when we would begin delivery. Well, the epideral was not given until around 6:30pm and Mike accompanied me to the delivery room around 7:05pm. Our little bundle of joy was delivered at 7:10pm weighing in 9.86 lbs and 20.5 inches. She was "beautiful" according to Michael - that is all he could say at the moment. After about three hours in the recovery room, we were finally transported to a permanent room (699) and our screaming little one was heard by all in the process.
