Dylan finally arrived Monday the 23rd at 8:54 pm...with a little help from Dr Storey....he weighed in at a healthy 8 pounds 12 ounces and 21 and 1/2 inches long....after a long day of delivery...and no luck...we ended up having to have a C-section that went well for the most part...at 9:30 pm Dylan was placed on my chest and we haven't been separated since...he is very healthy, alert, and if I say so myself absolute perfection...he has been a natural at breast feeding...and has been a very easy baby....he sleeps well...eats well...and is fairly content most of the time...Collin has been a superdad and is right there for anything his son might need...my c-section recovery is going extremely well with no complications...for the most part I don't even realize that I have a good size incision in my abdomen...my energy level is good and my ability to get around has been great...we have been very fortunate so far and have not experienced the sleep deprivation that most new parents experience....Dylan for now is sleeping with us in bed...it has been extremely rewarding...its amazing how connected and close we all feel to each other....its amazing that when human beings feel connected and close how smooth things go....we all get to sleep a good 8-10 hours of sleep...he sleeps right next to me...he doesn't cry all night...he wakes up about 3 times a night for feedings...I don't know if it a mothers sense but I wake up just as he begins to stir...bring him close and feed him...we then fall back to sleep together...because he is so relaxed his burps come easy as he is feeding....no need to get up....after the 2nd feeding we usually get dad up to change his diaper...then back to sleep...we are hoping that this pattern continues....I have always been one to trust my instincts and to use my feelings and energy to guide me to the actions that I take in all dealing of my life...so it has been really awesome to connect with Dylan on emotional level to parent from instincts and to see the energy trust and love pass thru us...Collin is incredible and it has been wonderful to watch him connect with his son...he has been so wonderful kind and patient with both of us...it has been a magical week...can't wait to see what the next hour...next day...next month...will bring us....
by the way feel free to call whenever you would like....we are getting good sleep and our days are pretty darn stress free at the moment......

Way to go, Dylan! Nothing like a good sleeper and a good eater to make parents happy. :)
