It's a boy!!! After much anticipation, we finally got our little boy! Despite the fact that both Luke and I were determined it was a girl, we had a healthy little boy! What an amazing feeling. We checked into the hospital on March 19th at 5:30 am, and 3 hours later, Wyatt was here to hold! All in all the planned c-section went fine. Since Gracyn was born by c-section, we were not given an option for the delivery of Wyatt. I had some terrible reactions to the anesthesia in the beginning, but felt fine by the end of the surgery. Scary!!!
We had an amazing bonding experience with our little Wyatt during our 4 day stay at the hospital. Luke and Wyatt had their first official March Madness time as father and son! I did forget how hard the whole surgery recovery thing would be. Today is our third day home and I am feeling a million times better. Both Grandma's made it down from Minnesota to help us out. We are so grateful that they are here. This was the first time that Luke and I have been separated from Gracyn overnight since she was born.
Gracyn assumed the role as big sister with no problems. She is eager to kiss the baby and wants to hold "it" all the time! She was more into playing hide and seek in our hospital room and eating her animal crackers than hanging out with her little brother. I'm anxious to see how our first weekend as a family of four goes.
As for Wyatt, he is eating like a champ! Breastfeeding was so difficult for Gracyn and I in the beginning, but Wyatt picked it up with no problems starting day 1. We had his first doctor's visit yesterday and he already weighed 7 lbs 3 oz. Our doctor couldn't believe it. He has been fussy during the night, which has been exhausting for us since Luke is trying to take care of me and Wyatt. I am hoping this is just a phase. If not, I will be up all night and sleeping most of the day. I am planning on taking 12 weeks off of work to be with him.
Jamee and Jeff Yung were vacationing in the Florida Keyes and made it up for dinner and to meet Wyatt on Monday. It was so good to see them!
Thank you to everyone for the well wishes. We miss you all so much and wish we could be closer to you to share this experience. Now, I'm off to bed.....
