What a Wonderful World!

Mike and I have been having SO much fun with Parker! He is so goofy and is starting to make the best faces!

Parker Scott Weed is here!

Our Beautiful baby is here! Parker was born Thursday at noon! He weighs 6 lbs. 8 oz. It all started on Wednesday when I took some castor oil (whoops). I started having contractions at 5 o'clock that night and went into the hospital at 8 dilated to 3 centimeters. The nurse wanted to start me on some pitocin but since I was hoping to do things natural, I objected. They sent me home and told me to come back when my water broke or it got too painful to handle. My contractions were already five minutes apart and I was in a good amount of pain but I went home and resorted to the techniques Mike and I had learned in our class. I took a bath, ate sonic, listened to relaxing music, took a shower, got massaged by Mike, watched I Shouldn't be Alive on discovery channel ( it helped to minimize my situation considering I hadn't crashed in a plane in the desert and broken both my legs) and watched some MTV ( lady gaga music videos make for a good distraction) ....and finally at about 8 am I had had enough. We went back to the hospital and were relieved to find I was 8 1/2 centimeters. I was taken to the delivery room and the real suffering began, the contractions were horrific and everyone was asking me if I wanted an epidural. I had been working for a natural birth for so long and I knew the pain was only temporary. I knew millions of babies had been born natural, I knew the pain would last about a day then be gone, and I knew my baby and myself would be much better off without the epidural. I used all my strength and the support I got from Mike (who was absolutely amazing). Mike was the best coach and I could not have done it with out him, he kept me from losing it so many times. When it came time to push I gave it my all and pushed six times. I don't remember much other than the episiotomy feeling good because it relieved so much pressure, and screaming a lot. Out came Parker and honestly I felt like I was gonna die, but when they placed him on my chest the pain didn't matter and I was the happiest person in the world. Unfortunately, later that day I hemorrhaged massive amounts of blood and passed out. We had to stay in the hospital for four days and I got a blood transfusion. It was scary for a while and disappointing but Mike took care of Parker while I was in bed and I think they bonded more because of it. Parker is the easiest baby ever! he never cries just kinda whines and loves to be held. He is the best eater and I'm all about breastfeeding, it's actually been pretty easy for me! Our little family is complete now! I feel more blessed than ever for this wonderful gift. He is a little angel. Mike and I love him more than words.

Confession...Since dear Mike is on break from school and since he did such an amazing job making strait A's again this semester and getting another A+ in Organic Chemistry ( i have to brag) his brain deserves a bit of a rest and thus he has become enthralled with a special game and has dragged me down with him. Magic the Gathering(you know the card game that boys in trench coats with greasy hair sat around playing during lunch on the floor in high school) is a game of strategy and skill that we both have become somewhat obsessed with. We make a great dueling team i must say, he has an array of power punching decks while i stick mainly to the Teeth of the Predator deck (the green deck) this is all played on his xbox ( we don't really have the cards I swear, tho it may come to that) I am comfortable sharing this part of my life with others and I will not be offended if you pass judgement on me.

We Have a Blog!

Baby boy due Feb.4..stay tuned!
