He's Here and 1 Week Old Today!!!

Our Sweet baby D.J. Donald Joseph) made his arrival on April 7, 2009 at 4:08 pm!!! He was 7 lbs., 12 oz., and 19.25 inches long! He is perfect, but I suppose our opinion is kind of bias! I was induced about 9:00 tuesday morning dilated to 3 cm, and received my epidural at about 10:00 when I was at 4 cm. The doctor came at around 12:30ish to check me out and I was at 9 cm already so we started the process slowly with a couple hour breaks in between to rest. I ended up with a 4th degree tear which is the worst possible, and I'm definitely feeling it, but it was definitely worth it! (The Lortab helps tremendously too!!!) We came home on Thursday and we've been doing really good! D.J. is sleeping and eating really well! Donny is doing awesome as well! I think his "Daddy" instinct kicked in automatically and he is a wonderful one at that! It's still hard to believe that this precious little guy is mine, and that he is finally here! I never thought it was possible to love anyone or anything as much as I do this baby boy!!!
