Beau is Here!!

I'm too tired to write a lot but Beau arrived on Friday 5/22 at 12:15 am. He was 8 lbs 5 oz and 21 inches long. I went in on Thursday morning at 6 to be induced but ended up with a c-section after a full day of only being dilated 2-3 cm. I'm glad I went in a week early because the cord was wrapped around his neck twice tightly. It all worked out in the end and I'm just happy that he is healthy. He's been a wonderful baby so far. He doesn't cry a lot and seems to be very content. He's got blonde hair and blue eyes - even though we haven't seen much of them yet. He sleeps A LOT - I am enjoying it now though because I know that won't last long!! He had his first dr. appt. today and everything was great. I am still pretty sore but every day is getting easier. The pain pills have really helped too:)

I feel bad because I haven't taken quite as many pictures of Beau as I did when Olivia was born. I think because it's been harder for me to get around but I'm trying to make up for it now that I'm home. Attached are a few from his first days. I'll try to add more later this week - and maybe say a little more too.

What a cutie he is!!! And it seems like Olivier is fitting into the big sister role quite well.

Take good care of yourself, and let your wound heal.

Are you getting some help also from your folks? That would be real nice.
