On May 28th, 2008 our lovely Brody Michael was born, his weight was 8 pounds 1 oz and was 22 inches long. He is the cutest kid ever!! He is already showing his great personality. He is a very calm child and when he fusses he is pretty easy to calm. He does have very long fingers and feet which we just love showing off. I think he is going to be very tall when he gets older.
Well, it was a very interesting labor. I was in labor for 22 hours, when at 9 centimeters my body stopped progressing, I was dilated at 9 centimeters for about 3 hours when my doctor came in and said she was concerned, and felt it would be best for both Brody and I if we did a c-section. This freaked us out a little, but we wanted what was best for the both of us. It was not but a few minutes after that that our sweet bundle of joy was born. It goes pretty fast once they cut you open and pull him out. It takes much longer for the docs to sew you back together.
It has been a real adjustment healing from the c-section. You do not realize that pretty much all of your movements are helped by your stomach muscles. But all is going well and looking good. I can’t wait to be fully recovered from the surgery.
Mike has truly been a rock for me during this whole thing. He knew what to say and how to help me when I get frustrated because I need help doing things that I could do before. I’m so grateful for him and his love for Brody and I.
