He’s here!

Trent was born on October 19th at 5:30 am… a whopping 9 lbs. 6 oz. and 22 inches long! He was very anxious to come into the world. My water broke around 2:50 am and we got to the hospital about 3:20 am. By the time the nurse checked me I was already at 7 cm… which means too late for an epidural (!) He was born at 5:30 am. He had to be in NICU for 36 hours because his oxygen levels kept dropping. But thanks to all of the incredible nurses and doctors, he’s fine and we felt safe that he was in good hands the entire time. He is such a handsome little guy and such a good baby… just like his sister was. She by the way, is an incredible big sister and very proud of her little brother. A baby is such a little blessing.

I’m doing well. I only took 2 weeks off from watching the boys. It’s just a money thing. I wish I would have had more time with just our family but what can ya do? Now, I’m thinking about starting to workout again, start eating right, blah blah blah. Of course, finding time to take a shower isn’t even an easy task, let alone work out. J isn’t very hands on with the baby. I didn’t expect him to be, I guess. But a little time to myself would be very nice… just to go for a walk and hopefully start running again. Now it’s getting pretty cold and I can’t take Trent with me in the stroller. So, unless I go around 5am (if Trent happens to be fed, happy and asleep) when it’s dark and cold or at night when J gets home (if Trent happens to be fed, happy and asleep) when it’s dark and cold, it’s pretty much impossible, I think. I’ll figure something out… I guess I’ll just bundle up, where something reflective and go when it’s dark and cold.

Anyway, I only weigh a couple of pounds more then I did before I got pregnant. I think around 175 now. I’ll have to weigh myself in the morning. So, I’m thinking I’ll be happy if I can start eating healthy food, kick my Dr. Pepper “addiction” and start walking (at first). It would be nice to lose about a pound a week. Not very gung ho, I know but slow and steady wins the race. If I could do that I would be around 140ish in May. That would be just fine with me.

    C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S! to you and J. and little Sis (well, now big Sis). And…Well Done You!
    Take a pilates or exercise dvd out from the library and try pushing your furniture out of the way and get Sis to exercise with you maybe! Good job on the fact that you gained so little weight will you were expecting. Trent is a beautiful name, by the way.
    Oh boy, if I lived near you I’d offer to babysit to give you some time for yourself.
    Take Care, Chel…RubyJean
