A lot to cover!!

A lot has happend since I last blogged!!!First off, we have moved to a new house! A little advice, if you can avoid moving right after having a baby,, DO IT!!!! It was very hectic, but very worth it! We love our new home and are just happy to be out of the town home! Bryan's mom and dad were here, they were a huge help as well!!! I will blog pics of the whole house when it is all put together, I do have Brady's room done, and it is too cute! (if I do say so myself!) FYI, the day we moved the furniture was the ONE day out of the whole time we lived here that it snowed, and snowed and snowed!!!

Brady had his one month check up,, he weighed 7lbs, 14oz when he was born, and at his check up he weighed 10lbs, 2oz!!! He is a little piggy!!! A cute piggy though!!!

Enjoy the pics, there is a ton!!!

I know you all have been waiting for more pics and more info on the birth,, so here it is:-)

The birth went very well, and very fast! My mom made it to our house at 10pm on Wednesday, the 28th, and I was waking them up a little past midnight with contractions, telling them that we need to go to the hospital. We arrived and were checked in about 1:30am, at that point I was dilated to a 1. By 5am, I was dilated to a 4 or 5, and was on my way to receive a wonderful epidural! (Hats off to those who go natural, but I will be ever-so-grateful to whoever created the epidural!) After the "happy drugs" it went even faster, by 8am, I was a 7-8, by noon I was a 10, pushing by 12:15pm, and had a Brady at 1:28pm! I had a very good delivery, smooth, and easy for the most part:-)

We brought home our little Brady on Saturday morning,, I was a bit tired to say the least! We had to go to the Dr. on Sunday so they could check his level for Jaundice. When we left the hospital, his level was a 13, and by Sunday it had gone to a 16. We then had to get this little UV blanket that he had to have on his back, against his skin, 24/7. Let me tell you how fun that was! Brady was a trooper, and it didn't seem to even phase him,, however, trying to feed and burp him with that cord coming out the bottom of his clothes was not an easy task! We had to keep him on the blanket until Tuesday. By his Friday's Dr. appt. he was all clear!! Yay!!! We didn't realize how "yellow" he was until we started looking at the pics we had taken. He now has a beautiful olive skin,, just like his daddy:-) Who, by the way, he looks JUST LIKE!

Enjoy!
