Our Christmas blessing! 
Proud Grandma Weglo!
Proud parents!
At 3:35 am on Wednesday morning my water broke. We called the hospital and they said to come as soon as we could. We gathered our things and got to the hospital at 4:30. We just took our time because I wasn't having any contractions. Once we got to the hospital we found out that the baby had pooped, thus meconium inside of me. This was not a good thing obviously, so when the doctor arrived at 9:00am he attached a "thing" to the baby's head to monitor the exact heart rate of Isaac. I had yet to have a contraction, but once the doctor attached the wire thing I instantly started to have contractions every minute to minute and a half. Not fun. They were going to start me on a drip to get the contractions going but there was no need. I was soon moved into the delivery room to wait for my epidural. By noon I was already 5 cm. The epidural came just before two, and I was pretty much given full dosage, because I kept feeling the contractions. By 2:15 I was pushing, feeling nothing=)...gotta love those drugs. The doctor was called and we were waiting for him to come so that I could finisher delivery. He came just after 3:00 and Isaac was born at 3:19 pm. It was such an easy labour. We were even laughing between pushes. Little did i know the discomfort that came once the epidural wore off. I would have to say these last few days, and still now I am in more pain than Wednesday. I can't wait to feel "normal" again.
Isaac has been feeding well, and we're working on getting him on a feeding schedule. Right now he seems to think that he should sleep lots during the day and be wide awake in the night!
Overall he's a great baby and is very strong already. When he's awake, he moves his head around so much and is very active with his hands.
I better get back...hope you enjoy the pictures!
