Hey all! Sorry for ghosting on you, but 1. having a newborn is really freaking overwhelming, and 2. I tend to mostly come to the board from a computer and I'm just starting to work from home.

But want to meet the cutest little boy ever?

He was born via planned C section a week early. He was frank breech for pretty much the whole second half of my pregnancy.

Other than a bad reaction to the anesthesia drugs that made me really sick for the first day, the birth was pretty uneventful. My incision is even "beautiful" (according to my sister who had 4 C sections).

We took my OB's advice and stayed in the hospital three nights to take advantage of the nurses there helping and the nursery at night.

Getting home was overwhelming. My DH only had a week off and we spent most of that in the hospital. My mom came the following week, but had to leave early because she got a cold. DH is gone 12-14 hours a day for work, so those were some LONG days!

The baby's been in daycare since last week while I start working from home and trying to get us on a schedule that will work for me going back to work.

He's mostly a really happy baby, and I love how he's staring to "talk" and "tell stories". He loves to babble and kick and chew his hands.
