My Precious Baby Boy

As I sit here with him laying on my chest just thinking about a year ago we weren't even trying to a baby and here we are today with a baby. I never thought it would ever happen. It seems so surreal with him here. Like he's just going to disappear at any moment like it was just a dream.
I love him more then anything I've ever felt before in my life. I feel like Kevin and I just fell in love and it's a completely new relationship. Our Love for each other has been completely renewed and revived. I can't tell you how many time I've just been sitting on the couch this week looking at him and Collin together loving them both so much! I can't imagine love either of them anymore then I do now.
I've caught myself a few times this week starring at Collin loving him and I just start crying! I know it's weird and crazy that I cry for no reason but I love him so much!

I love listening to Kevin talk to Collin about the future and there are so many times this week that Kevin has told me how much he loves Collin and that just melts my heart. He loves talking to him about fishing and four wheeling and playing baseball and I can't wait to watch them do all these things together.

Today we had Newborn photos and I can't wait to see them all. They will be our memory about how tiny our baby boy was and how innocent he was.

Even though all of this is real and true I feel like I'm floating on Cloud Nine in a dream! The best dream of my Life!

Collin Gene is Here!

We ended up having to be induced on Jan 7th because of Pre-E so we went in at 8am everything was up and running by 10am. Contractions started right away and everythign was going great. We got to about 4cms and we were 8hrs in when I got my epi. Which was amazing since I needed to sleep.
They were uping pitocin every 30 mins. We got to 22 with that when he started showing signs of stress. So they pulled the pitocin and took a 30 mins break. Then started back up at 6. he was doing good so my nurse upped it 2 more and wanted me to change positions a bit. So we were doing that when my dr came in to check me and she just said no this isn't working and that we would need to have a C-Sections so all of a sudden I was rushed away and DH met me in there. It was kind of cold in the room so I was shaking and then they started more pain meds and the shaking only got worst. I just couldn't even control it at all. They started working on me and I could feel everything so as they were pushing more pain meds. Which was not fun but before I knew it we were being told that the baby was out. Collin was here they cleaned him up and brought him over to me and it was amazing to here him crying. They had DH take him back to the room while they finished up and I met them back there.

I still couldn't stop shaking so they put a blanket warmer on me but that wasn't the problem. It just ended up being the pain meds and my reaction to them. But before I knew it I was done shaking and we were enjoying our sweet baby boy.

Collin Gene was 6lbs 7oz and 19inches long born at 9:35pm on January 7th.

So far we're doing great and I couldn't be more happier! My recovery from the C-Section is going great and I feel wonderful which is more then I expected.
