Karend is right - the first six weeks will almost get you and then poof! much better. We are praying for you all and Eli. Can't wait to keep reading the updates. Also, can you send me your address? We have a small gift but I wasn't able to attend your shower in Cincy b/c it was Andrew's birthday party!Andrew's Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09978655841359709578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23612474.post-82789519597542460662008-04-19T10:20:00.000-04:002008-04-19T10:20:00.000-04:00Ashlee had it too.

Ashlee hates needles too. post-delivery though, she is a fan of epidurals, for what it's worth.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08624242333922229172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23612474.post-57171633400778795012008-04-18T12:38:00.000-04:002008-04-18T12:38:00.000-04:00hey girl! no sweat--i was positive too! no biggie!...hey girl! no sweat--i was positive too! no biggie!Nicki W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16483781618533789020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23612474.post-64247138556731573322008-04-18T12:31:00.000-04:002008-04-18T12:31:00.000-04:00Awww...that's a bummer, but I'm glad it's not some...Awww...that's a bummer, but I'm glad it's not something serious!! I wonder why it is that doctors are sometimes not supportive of natural childbirth?

And it's sad to see that IV in that little hand! (His was for "observation" since we were both had fever when he was born.)<BR/><BR/>By the way, I'm telling you this because no one told me: the first six weeks are HARD. They baby doesn't respond much and pretty much just eats, sleeps, poops, and cries... sometimes for no apparent reason. And of course, you are dead tired. Take advantage of any family and friend help you can!! And right about six weeks, everything seemed to turn glorious: Ian started smiling and cooing, he rarely fusses, he'll sleep at night for longer stints (not all the way through, mind you) and he's been so flexible with going places and seeing people. The last two months have been a blur, but I am so in love with this little guy, and I know you'll be ecstatic when yours arrives, too.KarenDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17901472388331907986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23612474.post-87075557488486193592008-04-16T20:39:00.000-04:002008-04-16T20:39:00.000-04:00Too bad about the strep but at least its not a big...Too bad about the strep but at least its not a big deal! Also..I'm not sure about a natural birth but I had to have an IV anyway of just saline to keep me hydrated. I'm sure its different at different hospitals though! I cannot wait to see Mr. Eli!!Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117381653559769649noreply@blogger.com
