I have been having a blast hanging out with little Fisher. Of course there were some rocky spots, like trying to figure out how to keep him alive. Since we have made it a month I think I may have the hang of it. He has been such a delightful baby. He keeps changing and is becoming more alert...I mean more alert than a newborn so that is not saying much. Oh I haven't talked about the whole birthing experience and how hypnobirthing worked out. Well it did not work out...not at all. I think the main problem could have been that I was induced and since that happened the whole 'natural' thing is already thrown out the window...how can you have a natural delivery if they un-naturally start your labor. Oh my gosh though when everything got going it was a living hell...I still tried to do it with out an epidural...but that was just lunacy...It could have been the longest hour and a half of my life. Crazy pain...I wish that the contractions would have started a little slower and maybe a little more mellow...but it was 0-200mph in about 30 seconds from when my water broke. Since I was induced they had me hooked up to everything, and that sucked! I wanted to be able to move around, take a bath, do some stretches, but they were crazy about keeping me in bed. I can't emphasize enough how it sucked...I really began to see the beauty of a home birth where you don't have to deal with a lot of that junk...however I don't think it would be wise for me personally to do a home birth. However I digress, I was about 90 minutes into labor when I had the nurses get the anasthesiogogist for the epidural...and finally when he showed up I could breath again...thank freakin heaven...after that it was breeze until it was time to push. The Doc said I would maybe push for 30 minutes and I should be set to go...unfortunately he did not know that Fisher had his arm wrapped around his neck making it very difficult to push him out....no one expected that I would have to push for 2.5 hours and by then my epidural wore off completely....yeah good times. You know how it is though, once the baby is born, you don't care what you had to go through...and when Fisher was born...I didn't care about all the things that happened that weren't planned. I was just excited to meet my son. From that day to today I have just had the biggest crush on him...I love him like a fat kid loves candy.

Congrats Eugena! He is beautiful! I'm glad you are in love with him...you got there earlier than I did. I think it took me about 6 weeks until I could honestly say that I was in love with him. Enjoy the ride...It just gets better from here!
Those dang doctors!!! Well at least he's here and you are happy...and he's the cutest man-frog I have ever seen!
I completely understand...not that I ever wanted a natural birth, but it sucks to be induced...at least you did not end up having a C-Section! It was good to see you though. And yes, Fisher is a stud.
I'm so glad you FINALLY posted some pictures! =) He is so cute. Hope you survive without Seth. CALL IF YOU NEED TO CHAT! =)
That is quite the story! Glad he is out and happy and healthy, he is a beautiful little baby:)
So you are a softy after all. They'll get to you, those soft squishy frog men.
He's adorable.
Your own is just SOOO much better than anyone else's. Welcome to the club, my friend. He is so freaking cute.
Oh my gosh you're a mommy! I haven't seen you since non-gelled curls and lacrosse days and now you have a baby! He is so cute. Congrats!
