Nap Time

I just sang Simon to sleep with a croaky version of “I’m So Tired”. Seemed appropriate for both of us.

El Crasho Grande

We both got about two hours sleep last night, so we’re trying to crash as much as we can before they throw us out later tonight.
Simon’s Condition Downgraded
Posted in Hospital Fun, Matthew on Oct 17th, 2006
Simon was taken off of the oxygen this afternoon, and has been moved to a less critical ICU ward. He looks great without all the stuff in his face and has even been breastfeeding (somewhat). We don’t want to get our hopes up, but we’d like to think that there is now much less reason […]
Simon Update, Day 2
Posted in Hospital Fun, Matthew on Oct 17th, 2006
Simon is doing very well today, but he is still up in the NICU. The doctor has said that it is definitely amniotic fluid in the lungs.
Night 1 Update
Posted in Hospital Fun, Matthew on Oct 17th, 2006

Contractions
Posted in Labor & Delivery, Matthew on Oct 16th, 2006

D+1: It’s Showtime!
Posted in Labor & Delivery, Matthew on Oct 16th, 2006
Well, here’s a way to wake up: “Holy @#$%, Matt — my water just broke!” And did it ever! But still no real labor. We’re gonna call the doctor’s office in a little bit and see what they want us to do. Stay tuned….
