Time is flying by!

I thought I had already wrote about the delivery of my little man but I guess I have to write again!

Liam Richard Brosier was born at 11:48 pm on Saturday, Apri

l 30, 2011. Twelve minutes before May... He was about three weeks early but came out at a whopping 8 lbs and 1 oz, 20.5 inches long! I was perfectly fine with him coming when he did :)

I went as long as I could without pain meds but the contractions eventually forced me to cave. It took them 4 tries to get an IV in my arm and then

when it came to the epidural, they poked me three times with the big needle and 2 times for numbing... But it did help tremendously!

They said I was in actual labor starting at 1 pm that day. Katie was suppose to be home for his birth but he came early so she wouldn't get to see him for a couple more weeks. Kelli had to watch her little brew but Emily was able to make it up and be part of my support team. Mom was there of course and having her by my side was such a blessing. I also had Janah and Renee, two great friends! And I know there are others who would have loved to be there. Thank you to everyone! :)

The pushing itself wasn't too bad. I think the contractions hurt

worse. I pushed from 45 minutes to an hour and a half, not sure which one haha When Liam began to crown, mom pulled my hand down and had me touch his little head :) It was so strange! I could feel his hair :)

I puked before the pushing, after my epidural. They had me rolling on a ball on the bed to try to get Liam to flip over so he was facing down. My legs were so numb and wobbly (my right one stayed numb until the next afternoon.) I had a popsicle and then a few minutes later puked it right up along with a bunch of other fluids. I again puked, or more dry heaved, during the pushing.

I ran a slight fever and when Liam came out, he was a little hot, too. He had a bunch of fluid that had to be sucked out so he could eventually cry. He sou

nded like a baby kitty :) When they placed him on me for the first time after he was out, I was thinking "Wow, this little guy was just in my belly and now he is here, he is all mine!" I didn't get to see his face until he was cleaned up. He was slightly jaundice but its all cleared up now. It was truly love at first sight. He is so perfect and never ceases to amaze me :)

At his first doc appt, the doc was very impressed with my little man :)

He is such a strong little guy. He lifts his head up and holds it up for periods of time and pushes his butt up in the air :) He has the most adorable smile! :)

He has been having trouble with spitting up though and gas but other than that, he is such an easy baby and barely cries. I am still trying to get him to like baths. Yesterday, he was not too happy about it and peed in the tub at the very end haha

I can't believe its been over a month since then!
