Please Welcome Baby Aidan – Born September 17th

Aidan just turned one week old yesterday.  I am still in quite a bit of pain and probably won’t be blogging regularly for a few weeks.  I’m having a hard time sitting and standing for extended periods of time :\

When I feel a little better I’m going to do a sort of 2 in 1 birth story because I never posted my oldest son’s. Since a lot of mom’s are always curious as to how a first pregnancy/birth compares to a second I’m going to do a side by side comparison.

________________________________________________________________

A Few Facts

Over 24 hours in labor with contractions every 15 minutes until finally my water broke ALL OVER MY BED at 2:30 in the morning!  – 6 more hours at the hospital – 3 of those hours spent praying not to die until the epidural actually kicked in (last time it didn’t work!).  4 pushes when it was go time and he was out!  Born September 17th.  I had an episiotomy and a 2nd degree tear. Much better than the 4th degree I had with my first son.

9lbs 7oz – 21.5 inches long  – (he was measured wrong because a few days later at the Dr. while I watched and helped he measured 21.75 inches)  It’s funny because we all kept saying “he’s so small, no way he weighs 9lbs” but he does.  He’s my tall, skinny boy!  My 1st son was 10lbs 21inches and he’s my linebacker –currently in size 4-5 at age 2… so .. I fear I have very large grocery bills ahead of me!

So, here he is… My second baby boy, just as beautiful as my first.  Aidan.

  4. Congratulations! He’s beautiful. 🙂 I’m definitely interested in a side-by-side comparison since I’m pregnant with my second (a boy this time). My pregnancy is different, too – I’m not sure if it’s the second baby or the fact that it’s a boy. Can’t wait until I meet my little one!

  5. Congratulation, happy, healty and a long life to little Aidan.

  6. So adorable…congratulations!!!

  7. Thank you so much everyone. I tried to respond to everyone individually but I guess I need to install nested comments! I feel like an idiot. Really appreciate all the congrats though and wanted to say thank you and also congrats to Lindsey on her pregnancy as well.

    Pain is slowly subsiding and I’m just getting adjusted to everything so I’m still pretty slow responding. Hope everyone understands!

  8. Congrats! we had a new arrival also on Sept 13th, get lots of rest!

  9. Thanks Karen, Congrats to you guys as well!

  11. he is gorgeous! congrats!

  12. I think you need to rename your blog. I’ll throw in “Second time around.”
    Becareful of those big guys. At 12 my grandson is 5’8″, wearing mens extra large shirts and sweaters, pants 32×32 and size 13 shoe. He is forecasted to be a least 6′ 8″.

  13. I had a 10lb 5 ounce baby boy and yes, you will have a large food bill! But if your big guy is as sweet as mine, you won’t mind at all!

  14. Congratulations! Your boy, Aidan looks so sweet and beautiful 🙂

  15. Congratulations! He is beautiful!

  24. Try Milk of Malaysia-put on red leave it on over night. Don’t give it to him internally, I use it externally for acne and it works. Jackie, otherwise use Lotramin ask pharmacy.
