A Picture For Now...

Birth Story to come later! But here are details.

George Thomas Hendricks

Born Tuesday April 24, 2007 at 2:09pm via unplanned c-section

Weighed 8 pounds 5 ounces and measured 20 inches long

Dark brown hair and dark grey eyes (any guess what color they will be???)

Blonde eyelashes & eyebrows (so dark hair might change later?)

Dimple in left cheek and chin - just like daddy

Update

Left hospital Friday 12pm weighing 10% less of birth weight. Gained 5 ounces as of Sunday 10am. So have 8 more to go to catch up to birth weight!

Milk came in on Saturday so we are in a feeding frenzy! Can anyone say "OWW" to engorgement? We are eating every 2-3 hours for 20-30 minutes. Sometimes shorter if GT falls asleep fast, which is often. So difficult to keep this baby awake! He sleeps A LOT! We even have to get him nekkid to wake up! He went through a 5 hour stretch last night and I didn't realize it until I woke up! ACK!

We see our Pediatrician tomorrow for 1st visit. Momma gets her c-section staples out on Tuesday afternoon at her doctor. Wish us ALL luck!

Met all "at home" goals yesterday - shaved legs for first time since Monday night, did #2 since the enema on Tuesday morning and GT got a bath! :)

New titles for me & Petey. Milk Machine Momma and Diaper Dictator Daddy.

It's time to wake up the baby to eat. More for my chest comfort than his tummy comfort. This weeks mission is to start pumpin' & freezin'!!!! Again, wish us luck.

Oh yeah, the picture:

Who do you think he looks like? The verdict is still out in our house.
