Well we have another boy! Laz Donald was added to the mix on June 8th at 9:40pm. He weighed 8lbs 7 oz and was 20 in long.
I was scheduled to have a c-section on monday the 13th but my blood pressure was pretty high throughout the day on Wed so I called the doctors office and they told me to come downtown to the hospital to get checked out. Well it continued to stay high and i was having some decent contractions so they decided why wait. So unfortunately my platelets were low again so I couldn't get a spinal (maybe a blessing after the complications with my kidneys after z's birth) but I had to go completely under for his birth. I felt groggy when I woke but since it was the middle of the night no one cared and I had plenty of time with Laz and D to kinda come around.
So D and Laz hung out and bonded for a bit til I woke! I was a bit shocked it was a boy. I made D tell me as I didn't want to go under and find out later than everyone else but still shocked. I thought for sure this little one was a girl or was hoping for Ells sake but she loves him just the same!
The bigs came to visit after golf practice. And it was the hottest ever. My camera got switched to auto focus so well a little blurry and we left early from the hospital so thats all we got!
Z wasn't interested really at all...
since it was a bit crowded at the hostpial. like crazy. we had a storage over flow room for the first night and morning. and even shared with a couple triage patients. (that was interesting). but late thursday we got a room only to be maybe asked to move friday so i requested to go home and our request was granted - whoop whoop!
of course at home we had gotten sod (did i mention it was the hottest it has been for three days) and we had landscaped our entire yard) so d spent most of his time outside and popped his head in once and awhile to check on me. thankfully our parents were tag teaming with the other kiddos so i had time to sit and recover.
We are settling into our new normal which is a bit chaotic and crazy but it kind of already was before!
And our final starting lineup...
