Blake Michael

Thank you to everyone for all the congratulations. I just got home from the hospital and it was so hard to leave my little miracle up there. I couldn't hold the tears back as I left him. The NICU nurse was very sweet and said I can call them as much as I want to get an update on how he is doing. So I just got off the phone with her and she said he is doing great, and he's kept the last 3 feeding down.

Breastfeeding is going well, my milk has not come in yet but I've had the colostrum drops that they have been giving to him. Hopefully it will come in within the next few days. Physically, I'm feeling great and have absolute no pain from the delivery. The nurse said I had a picture perfect delivery since it was less than 2 1/2 hours from the time my water broke till the time he was delivered and it only took 4 pushes and he was out. I guess I deserved to finally have something go right during this pregnancy.

I still can't believe that I'm a Mommy. The love I have for Blake is just so overwhelming. I can't believe my dream has finally come true. I feel so blessed to have him in my life.

Attached are a couple of pictures from delivery night and then a few from the NICU.

Congrats again. So glad that everything is going well for both you and little Blake. He is so handsome. The thing I learned from when my daughter was in the NICU for 13 weeks is sleep now cause when he gets home there will be none of that. LOL Congratulations again!!
