If those words could only begin to describe it! Yes, it is stressful going from one to two and balancing day to day tasks, but a little organization and grounding never hurt anyone:) It will come in time. For now, we are enjoying this.
I went to my doctors appointment Wednesday with the hopes of being in labor. I woke at 5:30 am not quite feeling right. Turned out, I was in labor, and having contractions 1-2 min. apart. We were sent to the hospital where those close contractions went to 8-12 min apart, and eventually...even with power walking the halls of the hospital all throughout the night, became irregular. In the morning the doctor came in looking for a decision...VBAC or c-section. Shawn and I decided to go home and wait it out.
We went out for breakfast and I ate! Shortly after getting home, I lost my plug and began contractions again. I was waiting until I couldn't stand it! At 4:00, we headed back to the hospital, and boy what a ride!! I could only imagine what I looked like to the people next to us! We got to the hospital and all the nurses remembered me,or heard about me through the chatter line. "Oh, your the walker". My water was broke around 6:00pm and by 12:35 our son was born.
The feeling of being able to accomplish what I wanted is immeasureable. I can't believe I almost let go of it, and gave in.
Gavin Michael looks a lot like Easton, with a hint of his mommy. He is very mild mannered just like Easton was, and doesn't cry much at all(fingers are crossed!)
Easton has done a great job transitioning and is IN LOVE with his brother. He makes sure all visitors are washing their hands. He gets a little jealous every now and then, and shows it by whinning. We are trying our best to not make him feel left out.
The pictures below show Shawn and I leaving for the hospital for the second time(hence the 2 fingers), Gavin and Easton, and just Gavin.
