Hi everyone. Just thought I'd let you know I'm a mama again. Actually, he arrived Wednesday, June 30, at 3:32 p.m. by emergency c-section. He was 8 lbs. 14 oz., 21 3/4 inches. He has dark black hair and bright beautiful big blue eyes. He's perfect and healthy and beautiful and I am so happy. The labor was a breeze--I was induced at 6 a.m., progressed quickly, had an epidural at about 1 p.m., got to 10 cm quickly, pushed for a short time, but doctor knew the baby wasn't coming out that way. His heart rated kept dropping drastically and knowing the history of the labor with my first son (very long and very hard, barely was able to deliver vaginally and he was only 7 lbs. 4 oz.), he made the decision to go with the section. I was disappointed for about 1 minute, then just scared. The operation was very scary for me--I've never had surgery and it just freaked me out, and I threw up through the whole thing, but my husband was there, and he was great, and I had THE most awesome group people working on me--they were so good, and the procedure went so smoothly and quickly, and then I was holding my sweet baby. He is SOOOOO good. I'm so in love. My little Z LOVES his little brother so much-he's so adorable with him, and the baby LOVES his father, just stares and stares at him with his big blue eyes. (I'm hoping his eyes will stay blue like his Dad's.) I am recovering, just got out of the hospital yesterday. My family is having a fit because I have to drive right away (have to, as in "have no choice"), and so I'm getting a lot of grief. But I am fine, and I know what I'm doing. (It was pretty cool in the hospital, me and dh got to have a date to watch fireworks--we could see them from the parking lot and weput the baby in the nursery. Dh stayed in the hospital with me for 5 days, 24 hours a day--it was like our honeymoon!)Happy 4th of July everyone!

Congrats on the birth of Aleksander! I'm thrilled for you, RC and Z!

And yeah, I'd be freaking out about your driving, too. But then if I lived there - I wouldn't be - because I would simply be driving you!!!!!

BIG HUGS! Enjoy your newborn! I swear the second one goes even FASTER than the first!
