Yay!
My sister is coming to visit us next week. She will be driving to Pennsylvania with her boyfriend to see his family and decided to make the extra 6 hour drive to come see us! I'm very excited because I miss her soo much and she will get to see Benjamin too!
We will be spending Christmas Eve with Drew's family. I need to find something to bring for me to eat since I can't eat anything they make. That's the worst part about celiac disease, I have to bring a gluten free food and keep people from putting wheat in it. The last time my hummus dip was contaminated when someone dipped a wheat cracker in it :(
We've been getting a lot less sleep for the past few days. Benjamin has been having tummy troubles and cries and cries. I'm breast feeding and think it might be something I'm eating so I've been eliminating things in my diet that could bother him.
Hopefully he will feel better soon. I don't like seeing the little guy in pain and we all need our sleep too!

Benjamin enjoying play time. He's already lifting his head really well!
He also loves bath time...
Today our new couch will arrive. It's small, more like a love seat, but will be nice to have. The last couch was huge and not comfortable at all and when I sat on it my back would hurt really bad.
Benjamin has his one month doctor appointment today. I'm not sure if he gets immunizations today, hopefully not. I remember how those always made Dylan feel so bad afterwards.
Breast feeding has gotten easier, thank goodness. I haven't had to use a bottle in a while. I started taking Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle to increase my milk supply. The c-section surgery really got in the way of having success with the breast feeding and I'm glad that we were able to get stop the bottle use.
My cat Cricket loves the baby and is always very watchful.

So tired!
I'm breast feeding the baby and sleeping a lot. I've lost all but 2 pounds of the pregnancy weight and I haven't exercised at all. The doctor still has me on the bed rest, so I'm very lucky to have lost 53 pounds while not exercising!
The baby is growing and will be a month old this week!

He's finally here!
Pre-eclampsia struck again and the doctor had to do an emergency c-section. Benjamin was born on November 9th at 3:14 in the morning and he weighed 10 pounds and 7 ounces! He was 22 inches long and looked great! No wonder I was so big!
The night before surgery I had been having pain in my upper abdomen and a migraine. The nurses said that if I had waited longer to see the doctor, the baby and I wouldn't have made it. The surgery was scary, but hearing my son cry for the first time made it all better.
He's such a wonderful baby!
I'm on strict bedrest because my blood pressure is really high at the moment and also because the doctor wants the incision to heal. I can't drive for the next 6 weeks either.
Drew is really helping me so much. He held my hand during the surgery and brought me ice chips and made me comfortable during my hospital stay. I'm so weak and sore that he even helps me get dressed! He is the best!
