Holy Smokes! It's been 19 Months!?

I last left off in September 2010. Wow.  A lot has happened since then. Starting with the birth of our precious Evan Daniel on December 6th 2010. Evan was born at 7:45 AM via C-Section. He was a plump 8 pounds 5 ounces, and 21 inches long. Hello Deja Vu! Cole was the exact same in weight and height just 19 months earlier.

Evan, from the moment you were born your dad and I both burst into tears out of amazement and joy. You looked just like like brother with chubbier cheeks. I was so excited when they said "It's a boy!" I will never be able to describe that feeling.  After my tears of joy and excitement, I became very nauseous and puked all over the anesthesiologist...This all while I was being sewn back up. What a day!

After we recovered they took us up to our room. You had to stay in the NIC-U because your heartrate was very high. They were concerned and wanted to monitor you closely. After an hour or so, your HR still wasn't coming down and after seeing several nurses and the NIC-U specialist, they brought you into me. The nurse asked that I place your head (skin on skin) next to my heart on my chest. Your HR dropped to the perfect rate immediately. From that moment, I knew how special our bond would be. You still love that position and snuggling next to my heart. You will see in the photos to come ;)



Our family is growing and we couldn't be more blessed. I will try and recap the last 19 months in a few short blog entries. Then stay on top of this from now on! I guess having two kids finds me looking for more spare time. I don't think that will ever happen.
