Dec 10th

Well I know that I am a couple of days late to write this but better late then never. LOL!
So on Dec. 8, 2008 @ 8:10 PM Baby Gavin was born to Bill and Juliann!! He was born at 34 weeks. He weighed 5lbs 13oz and was 19in long. He was perfect!! Juliann and Bill actually were able to hold him wihile I took pictures, a first! Since then Gavin has had a little problem bur he had surgery yesterday to correct it and is doing well in the NICU.
The best part of the enitre thing, for me, was that I was there!! I was finally able to be there for one of Juliann's births. It was amazing. She did awesome. her water broke at 4:50 PM. We were at the hosiptal by 5:50. Bill got there by about 7 PM and that is when labor really got going hard on her. She went from 2cm to 7 cm in a little less then 2 hours and then from 7 to 10 in about 15 minutes. She pushed for about 15 minutes and we had a baby!
I can tell you this, I am SOOOOOO not ready to birth another baby (too late, I know)! LOL!!
Yesterday my niece, Elizabeth, turned 8 years old. I can't believe that she is 8 already, where does the time go. She actually had a movie birthday party last Saturday. We saw Bolt. It was really cute!
Today is my FIL's birthday. He lives in FL so we will not be able to see him today. We did send him out a card and few pictures of Addison that we had done in Oct. We will call down to FL later on when Michael gets home so we can all talk to him together. I have to say that Addison (as well as Michael and I) do miss my IL's. We will be seeing them in May for my niece's 1st Holy Communion and then again for the baby's Christening and are definitely planning a trip to FL some time next year too!
As for me and the baby, we are doing well. This kid kicks so much that I am afraid that the baby is going to come out with a soccer ball attached to his/her foot. LOL! It is constant. Addison was NEVER like this. She was very content in there. LOL!
I did do a heck of a lot yesterday, in and out of the house and I think that I over did it a bit. I was so sore on my right side last night that I almost fell when I tried to walk to the bedroom. Michael had to almost carry me in. It was not fun!! I did take a Tylenol 3 with Codine, so I could get some sleep. They were prescribed to me by my OB the last time I pulled a muscle. Today I am still sore but not as bad.
Ok, It is time to feed babies nad put toddlers down for naps. I'll blog again soon.
