Here's what you have all been waiting for it's the welcome to the world Wesley blog!
Kate acquired gestational hypertension which is just something that happens when you're pregnant no matter what you do. Because of this Kate had to be induced, which is a long drawn out process that starts with the administration of an oral medicine, then cervidil which ripens everything up and to be ready for the pitocin which really gets things going.
The nurses said that back a long time ago they used to just pump the pitocin in at a high rate and they found it caused too much pain and discomfort. Mom said that's what they did to her with Jason and it was agonizing.
I can't say enough good about the staff and midwives at Mid-Coast Hospital. They were all so wonderful and made the experience that much better that they were there.
It's been a week now since he was born and we've had him home since Monday. It's been going very well, of course a few fussy moments, but all and all quite smooth. The nights that Canaan and Addison stayed with us were great!
The kids are very happy to have a baby brother. Addison was the most vocal leading up to his birth so excited to be a big sister. Canaan has been playing it cool but has confided in me that he is quite excited about Wesley, and that Wesley isn't cute, he's just awesome.
I don't go back to work until Friday April 3rd so there will be another adjustment period then, but I feel it will go just as smooth as it has so far.
We haven't been able to figure out just who Wesley looks like, the general consensus is that he doesn't really look like either one of us. We have determined though that he has my nose and the Mueller bow furrow.
At night when Kate is sleeping and I'm feeding or holding Wesley I've been catching up on Clash of the Champions on WWE Network. Good Stuff!
Later Readers!
