HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!
My first year since I was probably 6 that I wasn't awake for the ball to drop!!!! I guess when you don't sleep on a regular basis any time you can get you take!!! So we were asleep by 11pm. Of course we did wake a few after 12 to call our parents...Then striaght back to sleep for 1 hr. until it was Adrians time to eat!!!! Boy this little guy can eat!!! We are in major trouble when he is a teenager! Things are going really well.. Adrian is on a pretty routine eating schedule...every 3 hrs. during the day and about every 4 to 5 during the night...so it's good....but I still don't sleep well because by the time he falls back to sleep at night, I am awake and I just lay there and watch him...I'm sure in time I will be able to fall asleep as soon as his eyelids close!!!! As of this coming Tuesday I will be back to work...I totally have mixed feelings...I am excited to get back, but I am sad to leave my little guy!!!! He will be fine I know, because he will be with my mom!!! She is very excited to have him all to herself for a few hours!!!! Because Larenzo had to go back to work the week after Adrian was born, he is a little more used to leaving him for the day. I on the other hand have only gone to the grocery store and Target a few times while he stayed home with daddy so it will be weird for me!!! I'll let you know how we all did!!!!!

Hello all.......things are going well!!!!! Adrian is sleeping pretty good, however when he is hungry it comes out of nowhere and you cannot take more than a second to feed him or he gets very angry.....today we are just hanging at home...tomorrow he goes back to the doctor for yet another weight check...hopefully he has gained something!!!After the doctor Adrian and I are going to go to the hospital to the breastfeeding support group Christmas party...it should be fun to meet some other moms...we have gone on a few walks and to target 1 time....it took me an hour to get 5 things!!!!!but it was ok...I was a nervous wreck taking him into the store, but nobody touched him so hopefully he didn't attract any germs....well i'll report later...

Ok here we go......Adrian Larenzo arrived!!!!! Last Monday morning I arrived at the doctor for what I was praying to be my last appointment to see if I had progressed anymore...Dr. B told me that because I was past my due date that she was going to have her nurse Christie put a fetal monitor on my belly to check out baby's heartrate..while she is going to do this Dr. B is going to do my exam....No sooner does Christie get one of the straps around me, Dr. B tells me I am dialated now to 2cm..As the words are coming out of her mouth, she stops and does an "oops I accidentally just broke your water!" "Tracee, you'r water must have been on the verge of breaking" After what you can imagine is a weird feeling, I get off the table and situated. Dr.B tells me that she is going out of the room to prepare my hospital papers and I should head right over there. Larenzo is at work, mom and dad are at home, and I am going to drive myself to the hospital...So i get in the car and go..I make it down Main Street just fine, as no contractions had started yet, get my suitcases out of the car and head up to registration. When I get to registration, I encounter Jessica, my new friend who preregistered me the week before..She gets my papers and puts me in a wheel chair and off we go up to the third floor, Labor and Delivery...no sooner am I wheeled in that my dad appears behind me and right behind him is Larenzo. Mom was on her way. So they get me situated in bed and hook me up to some iv fluids. Dr.B tells them over the phone to start me on some pitocin to get the contractions going.......Well you can imagine what happens after that....holy crap!!!!!LOTS of PAIN!!!!!! I handled contractions every 3 min. progressing to every 1 min. for an hour and a half..then I begged like a dirty dog for the epidural....The anestesologist came in and put that into my back and almost instantly I had relief..well it seems that the baby stopped liking labor because Dr. B stopped pitocin and contractions stopped..she would turn it back on and baby would go into fetal stress... So at 5:30, after being stuck at 5 cm for over 5 hrs..Dr.B decides I am going to have to go right in and have a c-section....15 min. later Larenzo is dressed like a doctor and they are telling him to wait in a certain area for them to come get him and they wheel me into the O.R. 2 min. later he is by my side, with so much love and concern it makes me cry...so that was 5:45...at 5:51 I am cut open and Dr. B and her partner Dr. Blessit are announcing to us that we have a big big baby!!!!! Larenzo is watching every move they make and is so incredible!!!! As the rest of the baby is brought out of my stomach...they say "it's a big big BOY!!!!!!" You can imagine our joy and overwhelming feeling of love for this new little guy...So they take Adrian and wrap him in a blankie and give him to Larenzo to hold for the first time!!!!! After a min they say he has to go to the nursery to be weighed and checked out and that daddy can come....In the meantime I am getting stitched up and put together...they have me wheeled back in my room, and bring in Adrian for his first feeding...it's now 6:15...everything happened so fast....now we are home as a family with this new wonderful addition!!!!!Feeding is going really well, thankfully!!!!and we have had a great night last night of good sleep!!!!!! So there will be more to come......just enjoy the pictures on here!!!!!!!

Well today is Sunday...and still no baby..tomorrow is the doctor...we'll see! I thought that by the end of my due date month there would be a baby, but I was wrong!!! THat's ok though...obliviously the baby is not ready...does he or she realize that we are????? haha....It's not about us...this is the true indication of that!!! So I think I am going to meet my mom today and go see the new movie, Four Christmas'...maybe some serious laughter will spark something....I keep you posted........
