Our precious little Sawyer has arrived! (Side note, I started this post more than a week ago, but am just finally finishing and posting it!)
We went in for an induction on September 10, and he was born that night at 9:45 pm. He came in at 18.5 inches and 7 lbs 9 oz. He was born without any complications and absolutely perfect. I was in such shock that I was able to survive the labor process, it was not nearly as bad as I anticipated. In all honesty, I was so scared that I didn't know how people had more than one child, but now I totally get it! It is so amazing and when they placed his squirmy little body on mine, I was just overwhelmed with love and joy. What a miracle!
Anyhow, we've been having lots of fun, I get to stay home with Sawyer for 12 weeks (not long enough). It's certainly an adjustment, but we're getting there! I try to get in naps when he naps, especially since he doesn't seem to understand that 4 AM isn't when we like to be awake. He does have more and more periods of awake-ness. He's starting to make noises more and more, grunting a lot, and just still so freaking cute!!! I have to admit, I love when he falls asleep in my arms or after burping him, up against my chest, or even just next to me. I could stare at him all day!
At his 2 week appointment he has measured in at 8 lbs 10 oz and 21.5
inches. He's growing super fast! He's so wonderful and fun! Here are
some photos!!
