I know this post is a month late, but can you really blame me? I was at home with a new born!

Tuesday, July 27, 2009 at 5:23 p.m., we welcomed Gage Anthony into the world. I was really nervous that last hour waiting at the hospital before they took me back to the OR. All those ‘what ifs’ were going through my head and I was making my self freak out. But, of course, everything went fine. I got into the OR a few minutes after 5. After some prep, Dr. Raja finally made it in and not even 10 minutes later, Gage was out and they were starting to close me up.
I started crying when they told me his weight. Just all those worries about him being small or having to go to the NICU, I guess. I don’t know why I thought he might be really small because I could tell by how big my tummy got, he was already way bigger than Shaye was. He came out weighing 5lbs 13.2oz and was 18 3/4 inches long. With some big feet and hands too
Even now, a whole month later, I still look at that little man when I’m feeding him and can’t believe we have another baby. All in all, he’s a pretty good one. The first 2 weeks we were actually having to wake him up to eat. He’s getting a lot better at staying awake now but there are some times where he just can’t muster up the energy to stay awake. Isn’t it hard to be a baby?
I update pictures of Gage often, especially since he’s changing so much I want to make sure I get it all so if you want to check out pictures of him, go to our
flickr album. Should be updated regularly. Sorry this post isn’t as long as I wanted but I started a new book last night and couldn’t put it down and now I’m going to be late for work if I don’t get off the computer and go get ready. I hope everyone has a great day!
Oh, and I almost forgot! We had pictures of Gage taken at the hospital and they are available online. There is also a place where you can buy them if you choose. Check them out here:
