Big Babies and New Years

    Today for the first of the new year I really haven't done anything. Tomorrow I will be baking a cake for my youngest son since he will be five years old on Wednesday. I did a bit of cleaning around the house but really do need to do more. Not that we are having anyone over but still. I would like to have a clean house LOL. At least for a little while.

    Well the third will not just be my son's birthday but it will be my hubby's birthday too! When I had my youngest they said that I should consider having another C-section with him because he was looking big. See with my oldest I tried and tried to have him but he just wasn't coming so I finally had the C-section and he turned out to be a pretty big sized baby at 10 lbs 7 oz and 23" long. So with my youngest they paid close attention to how big he was going to be. I didn't have diabetes and I wasn't over due though. Just big babies run in my family (my mom didn't tell me that though till after I had my oldest LOL). So after they told me I should really think about another C-section with my youngest I agreed. I could have chosen the second, third or fourth of January to have him. I decided to have him on my hubby's birthday. I already posted a bit about his birth so I won't repeat it LOL. He ended up smaller then his older brother but still considered to be on the big side. All though to me he looked tiny lol. He weight in at 8 lbs 12 oz and 21 " long.

    I remember looking at him and I commented on how small he was and the nurse looked at me like I was crazy LOL. She said no hon he's big. I then told her how big my oldest was and she was like oh ok then I guess he would be small to you LOL.

    Even though I have had two C-sections I healed pretty quickly from them. Both times I was feeling back to normal with just a little tenderness where the incision was in two weeks. God sure blessed me in that way. At first it was hard to move and do things but I did. I didn't take any pain meds either. After my oldest I did take one pill because they said it would help me sleep but it didn't. So I decided to just not take anything but extra strength Tylenol. I remember the doc came in and asked if I had taken anything. I told him what I had taken including that first pill and he looked at me and said. "You are one brave woman!" LOL. I don't think that. I just know I don't like taking meds if I don't have too. When I was a child I had epilepsy and had to take medicine from the time I was three years old till I was fifteen years old after I finally grew out of it. So I really try to avoid taking meds LOL. I don't even like taking aspirin for a headache if I don't have to.

    Hope everyone had a Happy New Year!! What did you do for New Years? We didn't do anything but stay at home but that's ok it was nice being home with the family!
