henry's hospital stay

I'm very aware of the lack of postings since henry arrived. I apologize profusely! we are feeling the "busy-ness" of being parents to two children. we've taken hundreds of pictures, but have had little to no time to get downstairs to download them all. I will do my best to keep this "brief"...riiiiight. we spent tuesday, january 26th to friday, january 29th in the hospital. while it seemed like too long to be away from miles, it was definitely a needed time to rest for me. the c-section went very smoothly. it was a complete 180 from miles' delivery. most notably the fact that I was able to stay awake for the entire procedure! last time I was contemplating sleeping through the birth of my first child...after 15 hours of labor, I was exhausted. this time I went into the OR alert and prepared for what was about to happen. in the end, my healing time has been reduced exponentially! I feel fantastic, but I'm taking it easy and accepting all of the wonderful help that people have offered.

we had many visitors in the hospital and a few here at home too. it's fun to share henry with all of our family and friends.
we headed home on friday, january 29th. henry was all decked out in a new outfit. he didn't seem to mind the car seat and, thanks to lots of blankets, never really noticed the subzero temps!
