Oh, girls...you make me feel so good. Thank you.
I felt your presence with me during the birth because it was a TOTAL piece of cake - thank you for your prayers and positive thoughts. It made all the difference in the world for me.
It has been an interesting nine days...to say the least. Little Duncan is just precious and we are SO blessed!! But, out of the first nine days he's been here, seven of those days were spent in hospital. He was born with a collapsed lung, so we had to stay four days in the hospital when he was born. It was fine because I had a c-section and was cleared for a four day stay. He got a clean bill of health and was released and we were very thankful his body was healed. However, a day and a half later, he was admitted to the hospital for severe jaundice. So, we stayed in Children's hospital for a few days while Duncan slept under the sun lamp and Mommy cried. I was NOT prepared for the weepy part of this whole affair. Ugh.
So, we've just been home a day and finally able to enjoy him without being in a hospital setting!! It's nice to be home with him...DH and I just keep staring at him like he's not real - neither of us can believe he IS real!! It's amazing...and now I feel a little more robbed than I ever have because I would love to have six children. It's crazy...we are so totally taken with him.
He was 7 lb. 13 oz. and 21.25 inches long...born about ten minutes into a VERY easy c/s...I'm telling you, this was the easiest surgery I have ever had. It was freaky!! He's a really pretty baby...and I know everyone says that...but it's easy to see why people say their baby is pretty - they stare at you and you just melt!!
His hospital picture has finally been posted - it's a RIOT!! Go to the link below and choose "Web Babies", then type in Duncan for Baby's name, type in Heather for Mother's name and make sure "The Christ Hospital" is selected as Hospital Name and hit enter. You'll be given a link to Duncan M born on 11/10/2005...click that link and you should see the funniest hospital picture ever taken.

Well,
ladies, thank you, again, for your positive thoughts and well wishes. We did have a wonderful experience because the surgery was cake, he is now healthy and we are tremendously, tremendously blessed. I truly pray each of you has such an easy birth, and I hope that each of you is well and enjoying the blessings of your pregnancy.
I also hope and pray that each of our sisters upstairs is soon blessed with a healthy pregnancy and can join us here soon!!! I never thought that any of the tests and shots and surgeries and procedures would ever bring such a blessing...nor did I ever think that it would really happen. Keep the faith, and I will keep praying that your lives will be blessed with a BFP very, very soon.
I'll write more as soon as I can - I'm off to get some rest before it's time for the next milking.
MUCH LOVE to each of you!!
HeatherMac
