Seth was born on Sunday, September 20th at 849am after what seemed like a hippy labor in the forest with no anesthesia. Thank God, I didn't have to have a c-section even though he weighed a whopping 8lbs 8oz. I have never felt like I was circling the drain like I did then. When I heard him cry, my soul wept with joy. The relief, the satisfaction. I couldn't believe it. We counted his fingers and toes and I was so so happy. For some reason, I was so worried this entire pregnancy about Seth. Now that he's here, I can see why he didn't want to come out. That's just how he is. He is so chill, so relaxed. Being born was just too much drama for him, so he was choosing to just hang out. He's only cried like twice since he's been here. He snuggles in the crack of my neck (lol just one of them) and it's priceless. I don't think there is anything as sweet. I've been breastpumping every 3-4 hours and tonight, the last time that I pumped, I pumped 4 oz! Seth is eating it up, I'm telling you! He had only lost 5 oz since birth at his checkup today and the doctor was impressed. Especially since we've been only giving him breastmilk. Parker Jay has been running a fever so we haven't picked him up from Grandma's yet. We're worried. I miss him, sooo much. And, I can't wait to see both of my boys together. That sounds so strange to say, both of my boys. How wonderful, to be a mother of 2 boys and the wife of one wonderful man. Corrie and Anne Kathryn, Jay and Dr. Quinn were the reason that I was able to do it. I honestly would have lost my mind if I would have been giving birth alone. I was constantly heaving my legs for them to hold and complaining about the way they were holding them, having indigestion, nausea, hot flashes, uhgh. They were wonderful to me.
I think that Seth took so long to come out because the angels were still removing his wings...he came straight from Heaven.
Love and baby hugs from my family to yours--

About Me
- Oak City Books
- Welcome to my blog. It's a dedicated place for my book reviews, criticism, and love of all things bookish. I am a mom of 4 busy kids that uses reading as my, "thing." I find that reading books turns off all (okay, mostly all?) of the noise of my world and lets me get away for a bit. Reading helps me escape the reality of the piles of laundry that will never be done, the dust bunnies that I swear will one day grow legs, and the emails and outlook calendar that occupy my life Monday- Friday during working hours. Reading is therapy for me and always has been. I've always been a big dork, introverted, creative, and reflective. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd probably open up a used bookstore with my standard poodle somewhere on the side of the mountain and surround myself by others who enjoy passing their time reading. Until then, I'll keep on keeping on. And, I'll settle for reading when I can. Which, I try to fit in as much as possible. Cheers to your busy life and mine, doing the best we can, as often as we can.
