Just Email Me Part 1
Today was our first full day out of the hospital and before you know it we already had our first check in with the pediatrician this morning. Charlie had looked a little yellow and the Dr. didn't want to wait. They said if Brooke just keeps feeding like she has been we will be golden good to go. We also had our first trip out. Brooke and I needed some items from Target and Charlie slept the entire time. Brooke was a little nervous about the first adventure out into the real world but with some confidence we made it through the day.
Charlie hasn't had a good night so far. She is doing a great job feeding but we're thinking she might be colicky and we didn't get her to sleep until 2:30am. Brooke and I tried to have one night of sleeping in the same bed but tried to get a quick nap in and that wasn't happening with an upset baby and Jay Leno playing in the background. That guy sucks. So I finally got everyone asleep around 2:45pm including my dog Midas. He's back and he is either just curious or concerned that she is crying. I knew he would be okay.
Well just email me when it's suppose to get easier. Part 2 tomorrow or really later today.
Pillow Bomber
I totally did this when I was a kid. I would get all of the pillows in the house and bring them to the living room and see if I could maybe hurt myself somehow but never pushed it too far.

A few things that get me excited about Wisconsin
Fixed Gear Cycling in Wiscosin
An Amazing Local Brewery right here in Madison, WI. The breweries in Madison, WI alone was the reason I was excited to come to Madison. Chicago doesn't really have too much unless you went to a few specific bars. Our Local brews are in every bar because if you don't have them people won't come to your bar.

Just Sit Down

aka Charlie.
@Brooke_Ashley's water broke around 10:30pm and we headed to the hospital at 1am. We were already scheduled for an induction because she was 42w2d. We beat you induction!
What a crazy trip. 9 hours of labor with no drugs. She was only at 5 centimeters and not making any progress at after nine hours of labor. All natural. We did the right thing when going into labor. Know your options, have any open mind, and know that this your story and no one else's. Know that you want to do it a certain way but KNOW that it could change. We didn't want to be like every other Mother that told us "GET THE EPIDURAL!" and "GOOD LUCK" Thanks for the encouragement.
So we wanted to speed it up(avoid a C Section later on because she was exhausted) and got the epidural and and the patosin(sp?) and everything just happened right after that. Brooke pushed for about 20 minutes and there was my beautiful baby girl.
For the record, the nurse didn't make me sit down because I almost passed out and I didn't start crying when she was born. There was some placenta in my eye. ;)
We are home now. Life is great! Everyone is sleeping except me at 4am. I had already got my midnight nap session. Thanks Brookie. You're going to be the best Momma. <3
