More pics of Liam

Liam had his very first "real" bath today. We have been waiting for his umbilical cord to fall off and it finally fell off yesterday (which by the way freaked me out) so he was able to enjoy his new tub and he actually did really well. He only cried when I washed his hair and then he cried again when we took him out, cause Im sure he was cold,,,poor little guy!

Enjoying his pacifier. Funny pic huh?

What a sweet boy!

One tired mommy and one tired little boy!

Our Perfect Little Man

Is it bad to think that your own baby is so perfect? I dont want to seem so vain, but I just think he's so perfect.

A surprise gift

My sister's friend, Heather, in Birmingham is a WONDERFUL knitter, and when I say wonderful, I mean it,, it's not the stuff your grandmother used to knit,, it's modern and tasteful and oh so cute! She sent Liam the most adorable sweater and matching hat today. I love it so much I wanted to post a pic. Thank you again Heather,,, It's so thoughtful of you to think of us and Liam!

Bill's Mom and Bob visit

Bill's mom and Bob came to see their new grandbaby today! Liam was actually awake when they first got here so that was nice that they got to visit with him when he wasnt asleep. What proud grandparents huh? :)

More Pics of our little man!!

Bill's dad, Deb, and Matthew all came over from St. Augustine last weekend to meet Liam. Thanks again for all your help and for all the lunches and dinners!!!

Liam asleep on Bills chest.

My brother and a very proud Uncle! :)

He loves being in his daddy's arms.

This baby loves to smile!

Here we are!

Now that things have started to calm down a bit, I thought I would finally update our blog with some recent pics of our little man! Things have been so crazy and who would have known that a person could actually function on such little sleep! I cant believe that Liam has been in our lives for a week and a half now,, it literally seems like yesterday that we were in the hospital.

Here I am, about 24 hours into labor,, at this point I was so exhausted and dont even remember Bill taking this picture of me.

Bill and Liam in the nursery. I was still in the Operating room here, Bill had just left me to go with the nurses to the nursery as they were closing me up.

Liam asleep with me in the bed,, not to worry, I was awake the whole time he was in bed with me here and Bill was too.

Bill with Liam on day two in the hospital. Bill stayed with me the entire time in the hospital. He was and still is my savior. He took such great care of me, and although we had such a great team of nurses in the post partum unit,, Bill did a much better job with me than any of them ever could have.... Bill, Im not sure if I have told you yet,, But a HUGE thank you for being the world's greatest husband and now the world's greatest daddy,,, we love you so VERY MUCH!!! You are the best and no words could ever replace the amount of gratitude I have.

Tita Jen and Baby Liam,, Looks like he is smiling here too huh?

Checking In

Thanks to everyone for all the nice comments you left on my sisters blog. This has been such a crazy week and cant beleive that my water broke almost a whole week ago! I feel like I just gave birth yesterday. I got all 18 of my staples out today and am feeling much better. Liam had his first follow up apt with his pediatrician and everything looks great. He has developed a hint of jaundice by his Dr. said it will go away on its own without any treatment within a week. Thats it for now,,, I will check in soon.
Jo, Bill and Baby Liam

Update

Still Sick,,,,much better, but still sick. I finished my last dose of antibiotics today. I just hope I can get over this last little hump that keeps lingering before I go into labor. We had a Dr. apt with our midwife on Wed. I am 1 cm dialated and 60% effaced, so it looks like Liam is making his way down and into the birth canal. I have been having contractions off and on all week, especially today and tonight. My parents were just about to take me to the hospital a few minutes ago and things settled down a bit,, this is a good thing considering Bill is flying from Cincinatti to Providence as we speak. He does know that I am having contractions and was really nervous when I called to tell him,,, but I think we're going to be okay for at least tonight anyway. Maybe I should finish packing my hospital bag,, the stuff is all layed out, I just need to throw it into my bag. Wish us luck,,, I sure hope Bill makes it home VERY soon,, right now, he is scheduled to be home Sunday night.

Poor Bill

Well,, guess who's sick now? There was pretty much no way of him escaping this one, but he got sick pretty quick and pretty yucky. Lucky for him, he's able to take whatever he wants cause he's not pregnant, but he still feels pretty bad. Hasnt been a very good past couple of days for us. Hope we both get back to normal soon.

Still Sick

Well, I'm still really sick, I called my Dr's office this morning and told them that I have already gone thru a box of Zyrtec (which I was told to take) and still not feeling very well. So, Dr. Ingram called in a antobiotic for me, which is a 5 day course to clear things up. I am so hestitant to take any medications while pregnant but I did some research and even called Dr. Bob (bill's step dad who is a pediatrician) to get his advice and I feel much better about taking it now. So, hopefully in a few days or so I will be back to normal. I am so glad that Bill is home with me now,,, But i feel bad for him cause now he's running around town for me and not really doing much for himself.....that's it for now. Off to take a nap!

One sick Mama

Oh my goodness,,, I dont when the last time was that I was this sick,, the last time I remember was in Sept on 2004. I was in bed for 5 days and this time around I missed work on Thurs,,,, managed to stumble in on Friday (Not a good idea by the way) and still sick today,,, a little worse today than the previous days. I am going to try to get squeezed in with my midwife tomorrow. Thank GOODNESS Bill is on his way home tonight. Im worried that with me being sick, little Liam is also miserable and I surely dont want that to be the case,, poor litle guy is miserable enough Im sure. Our next apt for me to get checked for Liams progress is on Wed.
