DeMarye's Soapbox

OK folks, Jesse let me make a post, and with little miss in our lives who knows when I will be able to post again so I wanted to drop in and say hi.

Mommy is doing good, after a enduction and 13 hours of non-productive, and yet painful (intil I swallowed my pride and got an epidural) labor, Kaylen was born via C-Section. She is doing well and has developed a great appatite. Since mommy was Gestational Diabetic they had to poke and prod Kaylen several times to check her blood sugars to make sure mommy didnt pass the diabetes on to her and she passed with flying colors. I am getting around easier today and with the help of my friends motrin and vicodin, have been able to get myself as comfortable as I am going to get, considering where the stitches are. I have had a few side effects from the epidural so having this family support has helped (gotta love having your legs swell and the fact that for a day after the stuff wore off I was itching like crazy).

Jesse and I are staying at my mom's house for a few days and he plans to make several trips to the apartment to pack up somemore stuff and take care of the cats, considering they had the house to themselves and from what Jesse said Waffel Kitten managed to make a huge mess while we were in the hospital. I don't know how long we will be here but I am greatful that my mom offered us a warm and larger place to stay since I am awaiting the impending doom of the wave of visitors to come (keep in mind my mom is 1 of 13 kids and I know if they could get here every last one of them would come to visit).

Jesse is doing so well with her and I am glad to have him here to help, he is also a master of diaper changes and bottle feeding which is nice since I have to get in breaks here and there.

I will try to post again, maybe between the 11:00 pm and 2:00 am feedings...lol.
