Bringing home baby!

It is not so crazy to imagine that it has taken me this long to jot down what has been happening these last few weeks. WOW how life changes once a new baby is brought home. Being pregnant even with all it's inconveniences seems so much more appealing now. 
I was induced on the 10th of Oct due to some tests that came back alarmingly high. It seemed as though my liver decided to shut down and not filter things correctly. Hence the uncontrollable itch in my feet and hands. When my midwife got my results back she had me induced within the hour. Wyatt also had a bowel movement before birth which she discovered once she had broken my water. FUN! The pain of contractions this time so much more intense. I didn't think it could hurt any more then it did but after a few min of contractions I decided to get an epidural. Best decision of my life! I had him a little past ten that night after pushing for only thirty min. Morgan's Mother and Aunt were there along with my step Mother and Father who was hiding by the door. I didn't know he was there till I let out the F bomb and he shouted from the door! I then decided I wanted to retain my placenta and it took another forty five min to remove it.... Piece by piece! All is well both with baby and me thank goodness. 
Morgan is a huge help and thoughtful of my need to sleep. he takes care of the older kids and takes baby so I can get in naps. I love him for his efforts but I am still so tired. Can't imagine why??
