At home with Baby!



Home At Last!!! Well, its been a long few days but it turned out wonderful! Thank you all for all your prayers and posts! Its so nice to sit and read all of it this morning! For all of you who didn't get the full story I will try to give a quick summary.
I went into the Dr on Wednesday morning for my normal 38 week check up. As soon as the Dr walked in the door I could tell there was something up. Basically she started telling me they were concerned that the baby was so small and that he was continually Not getting larger from week to week. Something about being in the bottom 10th percentile and that they couldn't see what was wrong until we actually had him here. They couldn't take a chance and let him go for any longer. So she looks at me and says "It looks like we are going to have a baby today" ! What, Holy Crap, I wasn't expecting that! So I was on my way to the hospital. It was sudden and kinda scary because I didn't know what was wrong but it all turned out great! I was induced at 1:30 and Asher Daniel was born at 10:03 pm. He was a little small at 5lbs 14 oz, 18 in but he is in good health. They aren't sure what was causing the small gestational age but who cares, he's healthy and Adorable!! I will post some better pictures later but for now hopefully this will do.
To all those wondering if I watched Alias on Wednesday. I actually was going to but my epidural started wearing off right when it came on and I decided to turn it off so that I could enjoy it at a later time. :) It was good though because I ended up having him right at 10 so I would of missed half of it anyway! Oh, and isn't it kinda cool that Jennifer and I had our babies just 7 days apart?I know, I'm a dork!
Thank you guys again for All your thoughts and prayers!!! I love the fact I have people from everywhere rooting and praying for me!

Hey, welcome home! He is a cutie. And I hope you don't mind, but I let our Alias Blog friends know about little Asher. If you check out the comments from some of those posts, some people wished you congrats. :) Anyway, glad you and baby are doing well.

Sarafu said...

Thank you all! He is Adorable isnt he!! Thanks girlscout and birdie for announcing Asher on the Alias blog! That truly made my day!
I am attempting to post a better picture but I am one handed at the moment due to nursing. More pics coming soon :).

hey! no typing with something attached to your @#$@!!! Geeze, Sara! You always were the 1/2 naked one running around the apartment :) I always find myself wondering, if you still do things like you used to. Like when is the last time you put a big mat down in the middle of the livingroom and practiced doing handstands and popping back up (with a metal filing cabinet doubling as an end table that you could crack your head on! LMAO!)

Sarafu said...

LOL! Thats funny that you say that because I was doing back bends with Zoe when I was like 4 or 5 months pregnant and Daniel was yelling at me. I got back into the back bend but i couldnt pop back up. I will have to start working on that again! Zoe is a champ at it, we can practice together!
And hey, doesnt everyone run around their house half naked? J/K! :)

Annette said...

they do now ;)

Oh Sara, please tell me you saw Alias on Wednesday and please tell me you loved it!!! I was shocked. I screamed out loud at one point. (Yes, to all you reading this, you're thinking of two words--"How pathetic" You are right) But wow, I can't believe we have to wait until March....

More importantly, how are you and baby Asher? :)

Sarafu said...

Heck Yes I saw it! It was Fkippin Sweet!!! LOL! Yah, It Sucks that we have to wait till March! What the Heck......Her mother is really Freakin EVIL!! Thats Really messed up!!! We definitlly need to discuss that! I am sure its on the Lets Talk Alias blog, I havent had much time to Blog latlely but I need to catch up!
The baby and I are fine. He still sleeps alot so its pretty nice. He does nurse alot but I suppose its because he is so small. Jack Adores him so that is really a blessing!

Daniel said...

I agree with Maurice. What a strong statement.
....and that line about finding the "golden needle in the haystack"..... Gave me chills.
