Typing With One Hand

Alex about 15 minutes old!

 
Hello blog! Writing this post while baby Alex is sleeping on me. :-) Alex was born July 20th at 7:41am. I went into labor at 3am and we got to the birthing center at 5:45. Couldn't have asked for a better birth experience and some day soon I hope to write the entire birth story! Be prepared it will be long.

We went home the same day as the birth and Grandma and Grandpa Meerpohl were at the house waiting to greet us, and take care of us. It was so nice to have them here and not just because they were baking goodies the entire time they were waiting!

About an hour after settling in my best friend Jaime brought Daryl home to meet his brother. Jaime gave up some of her night and picked up D for us and took him to school too. That was planned out before hand and I'm so glad it was because everything ended up happening so fast.

Later in the day Grandma Rosie and Aunt Sofia got to this part of the state and Grandma Rosie is still here helping with the house stuff and allowing me to take some naps during the day. Sleeping at night is not so much Alex's thing!

Daryl is taking the new brother in stride. Although a baby head must hold some kind of magic because all he wants to do is squeeze his "funny head!" Alex is not phased. Daryl has asked a few visitors if they are taking the baby with them when they are leaving, more of a request than a concern. LOL
The hardest part for Daryl so far is having to go to school when he knows mommy is not going to work. He has fun at school and isn't upset when he gets there but the mornings have been a challenge.

Alex has been eating and pooping like a champ and in newborn world that is all they are supposed to do. So he is doing both well!
The knitting has been set aside although I have lofty goals of what I want to get done on this month off of work. I better get busy!!
