We were expecting to go into the hospital for a scheduled c-section.  Nice and scheduled – Monday morning 9:00 – wouldn’t even have to get up early.  But of course it never happens that way.  No need for gory details, let’s just say that we ended up at the hospital at 1:00 a.m. 10 days before my due date and even though it was still a c-section, I got to once again experience the joys of very strong contractions.  Anyway, life has been a whirlwind since then, with lots of extra visits to the doctor to try and work out a little jaundice.  Luckily we have a biliblanket at home instead of being sent back to the hospital for light therapy.  Home is much more preferable for all parties.  Here are just a few of Maura getting to meet the little man (she is in LOVE, it is the sweetest thing ever, I’m soaking it in so I can remember it later when the fun of all of this has worn off 😉 )
