Webbed Feet, Lost Boob, Human Pretzel..Sweetness

........and that was all on one episode of Bachelor. What the heck - these girls are crazy. There is always the drunk girl and a future call to 911. Every season I say I probably wont watch the next Bachelor and then I get sucked in. The Bachelor does have a hotness factor - and an identical twin - Austin is one lucky city. I can't wait to see which girls turn out to be crazy - do they really want their future husband to choose them because they took off their shirt on the first date - come on. oh yeah - remind me to never roll my eyes - it is so ugly.

Now that Kellen is almost 4 weeks old - I am feeling pretty tired - the lack of sleep is catching up with me. Otherwise I feel pretty good - I feel ready to work out but am a little nervous about it because of the c-section - I know I should take more time to recover. It was depressing to come home from the hospital weighing 5 pounds more than I did going in. Finally after 2 weeks the water I was retaining went away. They say you burn 500 calories a day by breastfeeding but I seem to keep the weight on until the baby is weaned. We will see how long I last - my goal is 4 months.

I'm Back............











Well I am back in the blogging world after a 3 month absence. As you can see we had or baby boy. I went into the hospital on Monday August 27th to be induced - after 20 hours of labor they decided to do an emergency c-section - I just started crying - this was my worse labor nightmare. Kellen Keen McGee was born on Tuesday August 28th at 4:41 am. He weighed 6 lbs 12 oz and was 19 inches long.
Mekai was so excited to finally have the baby arrive - she came to the hospital the morning he was born - she was smiling so much on the way over it made her cheeks hurt - she said they felt like they did right before you ate sour candy. She has been so helpful - she wants to change every diaper and begs to burp him when he is done eating. She wants to hold him every spare moment she has.
I am so in love with Kellen - I forgot how much love a baby can bring into your home. Everything is going great - he is such a good baby so far.
