Hard to believe that our little Jesse Micah is already over a week old. Crazy how time flies! Kaden is still just as enamored with his little brother. He is always wanting to kiss, squeeze, and snuggle; and he really is such a big help to both Kev and I. He loves to get out the diapers and wipes, and he loves to put lotion on his baby! Super cute!
Well, I gave my final senior power point presentation for my book last night! Does that ever feel good to have done and out of the way! The whole fam came with me. Kev watched the boys while I presentated, and then I kept Jesse with me for the rest of the class. I'm not ready to pump yet, and my professor was totally cool with me having him, so we just sat in the back of the class while everyone else gave their presentations. Jesse was a model student - he slept through the entire class with just a few minor baby noises! Now I just have to take a five night Counseling class in July and August and I am completely home free! GRAJITATED!!! Yay! I am ready to just solely and completely focus on mothering my two little men without any distractions of classes and papers.
Mom is on her way out for a little visit. Kev has just gone to the airport to pick her up. So, it will really be nice to have her around to help with the boys and to especially give Kaden a lot of TLC and one on one attention. This will also get Kev off the hook of having to play "Mr. Mom," although he has done fabulously this week! He's done a bunch of little projects for me, he's kept up with the laundry and the dishes, he has taken Kaden away on a bunch of little Daddy-Son dates, and he's just really served and loved me. Can't ask for more than that!!!
We Welcome With Love.....
BABY JESSE MICAH!!!!
After two days of total bedrest, and after cynically "knowing for sure" that our second birth experience would be the same as our first - traumatic, stressful, and induced - the Lord granted my FERVENT prayer request and allowed us to go completely naturally and on our own this time.
At 1:00 a.m. Sunday morning, a week before my due date, I woke up feeling yucky. I took a shower and tried to assess the situation. By 2:30 I knew that THIS WAS IT! Kev woke up and we started counting contractions. Within minutes they were less than 5 minutes apart and very intense, so he called the midwife. I wasn't overly impressed, because I wanted to be home for as much of the labor as possible. But, with the hospital 45 minutes away and with my history of fast deliveries, my midwife told us to hit the road. Good thing - because my water broke in the car and twenty minutes after arriving at the hospital, baby Jesse Micah was born!!!
We are so in love with this little baby, and Kaden is so completely proud and pleased to "have a new baby brother of my VERY own!" Jesse weighed in at 8 pounds, 14 ounces (my very first words when I saw him were, "He's a CHUNK!"). He's 21 inches long, and he has just a little bit of brown hair. At birth, he was VERY red, but he is becoming more dark with each day, like Kaden did. Soooo adorable!!!
Anyway, just wanted to share the news with everyone. He's waking up, so we must be off!
