Posting Again

I am having so much fun posting in my Satire and "Laughes" blog that I thought I would start posting here again.  The last time I posted, I posted that we were having a girl.  That was over 1 year ago.  Wow has time flown.  Jane Claire Alexander was born, and she was perfect.

Her birth was a new experience for me.  First of all, she went passed her due date.  None of mine boys did that.  Jeremy was born 3 1/2 weeks early, Zachary almost 5 weeks early and Samuel a few days early.  My boys also all ended up in the NICU.  Jeremy for just a few hours, Zachary for 1 week and Samuel for 8 days.  Jeremy just had some breathing problems.  Zachary was too early and they said he had a staph infection.  Samuel was the most serious with a rupture in  his intestines.  Luckily no operation was needed.  I also labored with the boys for a long time, over 20 hours each.

Then I move on to Jane.  My labor with her was not long, but interesting.  She was not moving right and no matter what they did she just stayed where she was.  I had a panic moment and got an epidural.  Well the lady came in to give it to me and it ended up spraying all over her face, she started saying "My eyes are numb, I can't see".  Not really what you want to hear when they are putting a huge needle in your back.  Hahaha.  But Chad told me she just stopped and took everything out.  At that point, I had moved to my right side and Jane moved down in to the perfect position.  She was born about 15 minutes later.  Total labor was less then 12 hours.

Once she was born, we went to a room and no one took her away for tests.  She was fine.  When we left the hospital, it felt like we were sneaking out with her.  Hehehehe.  Such a difference experience.

She is so beautiful, so sweet and loving and I feel like our family was completed by her.  She has so much more hair then her brothers had at this age, but still has barely any compared to hair standards.  Hahaha.  But at least she is not bald.

Things I love about here.  Pretty much everything but my most favorite is the way she pulls me in for a hug and buries her head in my neck almost every time I pick her up.  I can feel that it is a hug and she kisses my face too.

My sweet little girl is already almost 8 months old.  Where does the time go.
