Dryden John

Completely large. This is me in all my glory at 5:30 in the morning on D-day! Check in was at 6 and they tried three times to get an I.V. in which was probably the worst part of the whole experience. Soon I was off and I had two amazing anesthesiologist to wait on me, Hector and Adam who quickly became my best friends. They took very good care of me! It is a pretty intense ordeal but very amazing at the same time.

Dryden John was born at 7:30 a.m. Weighing a whopping 8 pounds and 3 ounces, 19 inches long. He came out screaming and first on the list of things to do was pee all over the nurses! He was pink, loud, and very much unhappy with the whole situation. But mom on the other hand was really happy to finally be able to breath, must say it was a weird sensation to be able to take in a full breath.

Dryden is a complete joy, right now his temperament is pretty mild. Although, I am not sure what to do with a newborn. I am still waiting on recovery to be over so I can move and be independent. Jason has been amazing through this week taking care of me and the boys. He does a better job of it than me, but he says he is done and wants to get back to normal life, whatever that might be. He got a little cooped up and was chomping at the bit to get back to the farm. A little bit everyday gets better, my waddle has turned into a shuffle. I can see now the benefits of swimming throughout the pregnancy, I did much better this time getting out of bed quickly and walking the halls. Now on to the nighttime feedings and the pesky hiccups.
