Tuesday morning, at 3:54 am my water broke. I can honestly say that feels like about 12 hours ago. I have NO idea where the last three days have went. Everything has been a wonderful, amazing blur!
We made it to the hospital by 4:45 am and got up to the room...all without one contraction!!
By 7:30 am I had an epidural and by 3:39 pm, Chase greeted us!
Everything went very smoothly, with no complications. We continue to say how blessed we were to have such a wonderful experience.
Chase has been a wonderful baby! As soon as he was born, he let out a couple whimpers, then just looked around checking out the situation. (Pretty sure he gets that from Matt!)
We arrived home Thursday around 11:30-noon. Bella and Charlie were quite excited to see us and check out this new "toy" we brought home. Once they sniffed him out, they were just fine. However, once the first crying started, they got a little curious and worried. They felt they had to cry a bit, too, just to make sure Mom & Dad heard everyone.
And now, when the crying begins, they barely even blink!
Thanks to all for the texts, e-mails, calls, cards, flowers and gifts. Please know that they were received and appreciated. Despite everyone telling you how your lives will change and time will fly, it's impossible to comprehend exactly how true that is until your days go by in a haze of feedings and diaper changes.
