Parker is here

Hi everyone! I finally have a free minute to get everone updated!

After a very long day of labor, an epidural and his heart rate dropping twice we were told we had to have a c-section and Parker was born on September 10th at 4:57 or somewhere around there...I just say 5:00 ha-ha, he weighed 7 pounds 14 ounces and was 19 inches long. Being in the hospital was nice but after being there 2 and a half days we were ready to go home and we are so happy to have him here :). We got home Saturday afternoon and my family were all at the house waiting to meet Parker. After about an hour or so I was feeling very tired and decided to lay down, by the time I got up everyone had left except my mom, stepdad and brother. We started our very long nigh around 9:00 and it was horrible...after being held constantly all day and having the same done most of the time at the hospital, Parker would not go to sleep if we put him down. We fed him, changed him and put him the pack an play and he screamed his head off. This lasted for a long time and Michael and I were tired and frustrated with the situation. After alternating holding him and sleeping I took him at 3 to nurse him and held him until 7:30, I know I dosed here and there bu I was up most of the night, I woke Michael up to change him and that was it. It was a long night :) We learned our lesson though! We went to Target and go a co-sleeper that goes in the bed between me and Michael and we have the pack an play in the living room so whenever he is asleep during the day he goes in there to sleep and at night he is right there beside us so we can put his pacifier back in his mouth or just rub his belly and let him know we're there and he is safe. He sleeps all through the night and we sometimes have to wake him up to eat. I hope this lasts :) He is such a good baby I feel like we are so lucky.

I wish I had some exciting news to share with everyone but right now me and Parker just hang out at home, we did have his first appointment today and were told he is looking great! Other than that all I can say is that he sleeps, eats, poops and cries every now and then (usually when it is time to eat) and when he is asleep I try my best to take a nap.

Here are a few of pictures of our little guy.
