Mom sleeps in


Sinjin and Brett went to Starbucks and a walk this morning to get out of the house and let Liz have some actual peace and quite. Hopefully she slept. We had a nice walk along the Willamette river and liked racing the stroller. It handles quite well on the corners!

still here!

Since Sinjin was born, we have been a little busy, but I plan on adding posts more often.

First Official Outing

So Sinjin went on his first outing today, to St. Honere' bakery, our favorite spot. We sat outside in the sun and enjoyed a nice lunch. Pictures to follow.

recovery

After a night of sleep, we all are feeling much better.
We are going to take it easy today and except visitors tomorrow (sunday). We are at Meridian Park Hospital in room 14. If you are coming by, please call our cell phones first just so we can plan for your visit.

I went home and had a quick shower and reassured the dogs all was OK. They didnt believe me and kept running for the door looking for Liz. I had Sinjins first hat and brought it home for them to smell and get used to his scent. They were pretty pissed at me for not brining Liz home. They cant quite figure out what is going on. I tried telling them how much they helped Liz, she had photos of them to look at and visualize during labor which got her mind on other things.

Thanks for everyones good wishes! We felt warm thoughts all around us and the support was incredible. Katlyn flew up at the last second from the Bay Area and was great support in the hospital, along with my mom and sister, Sue and Allison. Not sure how we would have made it so long with out each of them being there. It got pretty crazy and emotional at times.
