Life with a newborn

It's an adjustment that's for sure. Noah has been a good baby so far. He sure lets you know what he wants. He is getting so big and he is only 3.5 weeks old. He eats ALL the time, lol. Takes after his daddy. We've had some good nights and some not so good nights. The not so good nights are only because he decides to stay awake and not sleep. He only cries at night when he is hungry, which I can handle and at least he doesn't cry for the sake of crying. You know what I mean? This is a short blog cause all Noah does is eat, sleep and poo. Not in that order per se. ha ha ha.

Introducing Noah Thomas

After a long grueling 9 months, Noah Thomas finally made his apperance on Sept. 30th, 2010 at 23:23pm. He was born one week early and had no intenstions on leaving his warm home. I was induced due to blood pressure. However, I knew that when I got to the hospital that morning, my blood pressure would be normal. Sure enough, it was normal. biggest fear? being sent home to wait it out. Thankfully they went ahead with the induction.
My day began at 6:30am that day as i had to get ready and then call the hospital to see if they were ready for me. After I got off the phone with them, someone rang the door bell, at 6:50am. Phil and I were "who the hell is that at this hour?" ha ha ha. He thought it was Tom, I thought it was the police. I opened the door, to Jackie standing there. My first intital thought, "aren't you in Thailand?" I was utterally shocked I didn't know what to say or do. I was "what are you doing here, shouldn't you be in Thailand"? Jack, "no you are having a baby today". WOW!! Now if that's not friendship, I don't know what is. Everyone asked Jack if she was here for any other reason and she answered, "nope, just here for the baby's birth". WOW! I am so appreciative of her and her surprising me and wanting to be here for us and for our new son, Noah. I will definately make sure he is reminded all the time about the day Aunt Jackie came all the way across the world just for him. He (and me) are very lucky to have someone like that in our lives. Thanks soooo very much Jackie. We will never forget what you did for us.
The birth part was hectic. I laboured for 8 hours, got to 10cm, pushed for 1.5 hours and Noah decided he wouldn't fit, so off to the OR I went to have a c-section. Which I might add I would take over labour any day. The recovery from that wasn't that bad for me. The nurses even kept coming in trying to give me pain meds but i was "i don't feel any pain".
It was a very interesting day that's for sure. But I am soooo happy I finally got to meet my baby boy and am very happy. Phil has been great throught the whole thing also. He comes home and holds Noah until they go to bed. The love in his eyes towards his son is heart melting. He already has told me he wants another. lol. Keep viewing/reading for updates on Noah and how we are getting along with life with baby.
Again, Thanks jack for being here for us. We hate to see you go! Hurry home soon.
