Big Brother

Joey is extremely excited to have a big brother. In fact the first week home was almost a constant fight on who got to hold "baby". He generally won, only allowing me a turn for feeding.

At very first however Joe onyl found pleasure in looking, but was very aprehensive about touching. That is until Grandma got ahold of "his" baby. Then he was very much about holding Chance.

What a wonderful family I have.

Chance

After starting labor at 5:30 AM, Chance was born at 3:31 PM.

He was 7 lbs 5 oz at birth, 7.3 at three days old, 7.7 at 7 days, and 7.12 at 10. And yes this boy sure can eat! He was also 20 inches long at birth, this is only slightly smaller than Joe at birth who was 7.7 and 21 in. I make some perfect sized babies.

After a delivery with virtually no problems, there was meconium in my water, so imediately after delivery Chace was suctioned before being allowed to take his first breath. This is not uncommon and not very scary as we knew about the meconium hours before his birth and I was fully prepared. AHowever it does slightly break your heart to have him across the room and not in your arms immediately following delivery.

All in all things went extremely well, and it was a very wonderful (and painful) experience.

Welcome

Well I suppose with all our family changes I should really try to keep up on my blog. After 9 long, tiring, sickening, and amazingly wonderful months

We would like to announce the birth of Chance Jeremiah-Nicholas Bezzone
