Teagan Michele Arrives!

Sorry for the delay in posting! It has been a crazy week! We are so glad our little girl is healthy and arrived into this world on Wednesday June 17, 2009. What a special day to remember!!

Who would have ever guessed that was how big she was! She was squished up in my belly so tight. It is so strange that one day I had a big shelf and now there is nothing there. It has been very nice to be able to sleep on my right side again as well as my back. The recovery process from the hospital has not been a bad one. I am now off my pain medicine and only taking Motrin as needed for cramping pains associated with nursing. Teagan is doing great with eating and goes every 1-2 hours in between last feedings. Every newborn has a goal of 8-12 feedings in a 24 hour period and she is eating about 14 feedings so we are on track! Our first doctor appointment is this Friday at 10! We love our pediatrician. He came to visit us in the hospital and talked to Adam all about his family and 3 year old little boy. He and his wife also have another one on the way. It's nice having a "family oriented doctor" since he has most likely been there and knows what it is like to go through this amazing experience!

Adam will return to work a half day on Friday to make sure he is all ready to go Monday when he starts back. I am having a hard time thinking about him leaving us during the day because he has been amazing. I couldn't have married a better man and now he has exceeded my expectations as a father and spouse. Waking up in the night with me even though all there is to do is feed her. He changes her diapers and lets me get all set up and ready to nurse. He always asks if I need anything and jumps up to go get the things we might need. He is wonderful and what a great Father's day- just in time!

We had both sets of grandparents here on the night before we went into the hospital (Tuesday June 16). My parents left Saturday morning and Adam's left Sunday afternoon. Adam and I are very thankful for all of the things they did for us. You hear so many "over bearing grandparent"stories from other people but Adam and I can honestly say we had wonderful memories and experiences with Teagan's grandparents and we loved every minute they were here! Thank you Mom, Dad, Chuck and Lynn.
