Time really DOES warp

Baby Jaxon turned a week old yesterday

and I mentioned to David that I had never felt this sore or tired since my internship days, where we were literally slaves to the ward and totally sleep deprived. It has been a whirlwind of erratic sleep-wake cycles, feeding, diaper-changing, burping, pain meds ( the c-section incision is healing well but still, being cut up and shoved on, having your innards messed around with and then stitched back up does leave one sore....), the list goes on...

But Jaxon is such a sweetheart, just one look at that little cherubic face makes it all melt away.

Meanwhile, I have to play catch-up with stuff in real life... i haven't unpacked my hospital bag and that's just the least of it around the house. David has been a darling and his family has been just amazing help and support.

I may blog more as my brain recovers alongside my body, so keep watching this space, although now the ex-preggo-now-parenthood/motherhood blog may get more attention. :)

Baby Jaxon

Here are some photos

that I've already put up on Facebook, and we have changed the spelling of his name to JAXON, so here is he in all his cuteness :)

And Baby Makes Three

Okay, so it was supposed to be ...

a routine doctor's visit.

We had known for a few weeks now, that the baby was breech, and that although he might go ahead and turn before delivery, it was highly unlikely that he would. So we went ahead and scheduled a C-section for April 2nd.

Today we came for our weekly appointment with our OGBYN, and found out that he was still breech, and on top of that, my blood pressure was high, with protein in my urine. They monitored me for about 20 minutes, during which it remained consistently high, and my doctor was not comfortable with that.

ANYWAY, to make a long story short, baby Jackson was delivered today via C-Section, at 4.53pm, weighing 7lbs 9oz, and measuring 19 inches in length.

I don't have any pictures at the moment, coz David has it in a different camera/camcorder and his aunts and cousins etc have pictures in THEIR cameras etc, but I will post pictures once I get some :).

Right now I'm in the hospital in the post-natal ward, recovering from the surgery while they're cleaning baby up and like that..

I think I'm still on some adrenaline rush, but will definitely blog more perhaps tomorrow, and put up photos and the like.

For now, I think I need some shut eye :)

Momma, baby, AND papa ( who had to see things in the operating room he would never have volunteered to see in a gazillion years ) are doing well.

The Last Letti Thursday for a while

I haven't been posting much

about what I've been making for Letti Thursday, mainly because it's mostly hum drum stuff, what with my massive bulk impeding me from being too ambitious in making a big meal for da boyz.

Anyway, seeing how last Thursday might very well be the last Letti Thursday for a while ( and that the boys have been trying to get me to "rest" so they can take me out, for the last 6 months already - yes, I can be quite stubborn at times, but mainly I was trying to be frugal - paying for 4 people to eat out each week can be a killer! ) , I "allowed" David to bring us out to eat instead.

And of course, where else would we go but a Chinese Buffet place. LOL. It was really good.

I've gotten more and more tired as we approach these last weeks, and need to get off my feet a lot, so it was nice for a change.

All my Bags are Packed.... ( 37 weeks & 3 days )

I finally got around to packing ..

my hospital bag and the baby's diaper bag, as part of getting ready for the big day... will have to get David's bag ready in the next couple of days.

I think I should be covered for the stay.. otherwise, david will just have to go out and get me supplies :)

Oh, and here's Junior's super cool Asian Motif Diaper Bag. heheh :)

Hopefully, when the time comes, david and I will be calm enough to go through the paces. We see the doctor again on Tuesday and will drop by "The Birthplace at Hendrick Medical Center" where we are pre-registered, for a "dry run" :)

Meanwhile, here's the episode of "I Love Lucy" where HER bags are packed, and ready to dash off to the hospital because apparently, "the baby is due any minute" .. and of course hilarity ensues. Hehe.... it just seems so probable, like with the sketch, that David will be so overwhelmed and anxious that I'll be the one waddling in and he'll be the one in the wheel chair and fainting all over the place :)
