Almost a Week

Callum is doing really well. He is getting bigger :o) I can see it. Matt got to change him for the first time tonight. What a pro he is, he did it like a champ. I love it when Callum open ups his eyes and he see us sitting next to him, he gets a little smile across his face. I didn’t think that I could love a person as much as I love Matt. The love I feel for Callum is just as strong if not stronger. Love is so powerful.

I’m finding it hard not having him here with us. It’s wonderful that we can go to the Hospital at anytime 24 hours a day or ring, but it’s just not the same. All I want to do is Mother him. I want to be at his every call. My heart just crys with we leave the hospital everyday after seeing him. But it’s ok to just sit and cry. After woulds I feel better and call the hospital to see how he is doing.

I’m disappointed with the birth. A c-section was really the last thing that I wanted. I know that it was really the only way, and that if we didn’t get one Callum wouldn’t more then likely be here, but yet I still badly wanted to feel what it would be like to labour natural and give birth.

It’s hard to believe that this time last week, I was sitting in the Hospital delievery room with the doctor telling us about c-sections and that it was best for Callum to be delievered. And then in a couple of hours he was born. My baby is almost a week old. I can’t believe how fast that went. I can’t believe how much he has grown in a week.

They were all taken today apart from the last one.

We can’t help but get photo happy :o)

((Hugs)) I am still upset I had to have a c-section and I am still recovering from it almost a month later. How are you doing? I know it must be more added stress having the baby in the hosptial. He’s thriving very well 🙂

*Hugs* I can’t even imagine how hard it must be to have to leave his side. Again, my thoughts are with you … He looks like he’s doing very well and should be home in no time!

He looks bigger. Good work, Callum! His hair is blondie-blonde! (((hugs))) I remember you from free OD a million and a half years ago, trying to get pregnant, and NOW look at you! You’re a mom! Oh, I could just cry at the thought of it. Congratulations! He will come home sooooooon, very soooooooon! I predict it!

RYN: Thanks! That’s so sweet, isn’t it amazing how strong your love is when you have your own child! When I was pregnant with my second I couldn’t imagine loving another child like I did my first, but it came so easily once I held him in my arms for the first time.

Makes me wanna cry looking at his pictures. He has such expressive eyes. It’s hard to imagine that my baby looks like Callum. (Her EDD is 12/26/03) So as far as growth goes they are about the same stage. Your baby is adorable.

hes sooo cute! glad to hear hes doin well!

Such a little personality there. He looks as though he is doing really well and growing in leaps & bounds. hugs,

{{{{}}}} I know how you feel about the section, but you’re right about needing to get him out {{{{}}}} Will you try for another at any point? He’s adorable :o)) ~ajaye

What a cutie!

wow. just amazing!

I just found your diary and have enjoed reading it. I’m so hapy your wish came true! Baby boys are the best (I’m not saying that because I have a son – lol) Best of luck to and your little family! I’ll be reading to see his progress. I’ll probably cry when you get to take him home even though I have never met you and you have no clue who I am – lol. GOOD LUCK!
