Hi Andrea,

How are you doing?  Did you have a fun Halloween?  DH and I were planning on painting my stomach a pumpkin when I was pregnant I told him we still could but it would look like a shriveled up pumpkin that had been sitting out for to long  We dressed Seth up as a Giraffe and he looked so cute!  If you can tell me how to post pics or send me your email address I will send you some pics.  I hope you are doing well..

Hi Andrea, Thank you so much for your post.  It had been so unbelievable.  The first couple of days Brandon and I looked at each other and would say, "We have a baby, Seth is here"!  The first night went pretty good after I had a minor freak out when Lovie jumped into the pack in play!  Lovie has been very curious but besides the pack in play incident he has been great with Seth.  He loves to sit at the edge of the bed and watch him sleep.  It's very cute. I love being a mom but it is pretty exhausting.  I have to pump because he is so little and we need to monitor how much he is getting and as of now I have low milk supply.  I'm seeing a lactation consultant on Friday who will weigh him before I feed and then after to see how many CC's he was able to get.  So I as of now I wake up a half an hour before his feeding to pump then when I'm done I wake Brandon up and he mixes the formula with my milk and then we take turns feeding him every three hours.  Brandon has been amazing and I am so sad he has to go back to work on Mon :-(

I am so sorry that you are on full bedrest and that you are feeling uncomfortable.  I hope Lucie will come into the world early for you.  Keep me posted and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers that everything goes well for you.

That's funny that you mentioned him being and Oct baby because I was talking to my BFF about how I thought he was going to be my Nov baby but now he's an Oct baby.  I would love to email you some pictures.  I have no clue how to make the pictures bigger in my siggy.  Do you know or do you know how to post a pic in a post?  When you get a chance send me your email address and I will send you some pics.

Take care, Katie
