Fast, Because I Have to Pump Again
And from that you might be able to extrapolate that I've had Cricket. Who is alive, and doing well. Even though I am sobbing when I am writing this. I'm having my first trip home after having Cricket on December 30, at 4:11 in the afternoon after 42 hours of labor. I eventually had to have a c-section. The Cricket is a boy-- who is beautiful, and was six pounds, eleven ounces.
I'm heading back to the hospital now. He's in the NICU-- we don't know when he's getting out.
And I love him so much, and this is the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life.
I can't wait to show you pictures and have you see for yourselves how wonderful he is. I'll be home again tomorrow.

Cripes, I thought you were still studying or something equally uneventful.
Welcome, Cricket! Congratulations Mommy & Mommy!!
Here's to hoping you all recover (physically) very quickly!

De-lurking as well to add my congratulations! I hope he comes home soon!
P.S. Baby boys are awesome, mine is almost ten months and is fantaastic!
I was just thinking about you! Congratulations. This is the best news I've had all year! My love to you all.
Congratulations!!! I hope Cricket come home soon, happy and healthy.
Whopeee!!!!
We will definitely be having to schedule some x-country playdates! I hope he and you recover soon!
Wow! that's news I wasn't expecting. Congratulations!!! I hope that your recovery goes smoothly, and more importantly, that the little guy gets better and can come home with you ASAP. Sending lots of love and good wishes your way.
Wow! Congratulations on your beautiful boy, and I'm so sorry that it was unexpected, and he's not at home with you. Good luck, you are in my thoughts!
Woo-hoo! Congratulations to you and Partner--I agree that baby boys rule. We had a boy in the NICU too, so I know how hard that is. Trust in God--I'll be praying for you all. Hope he's home soon.
WHAT??? You post so infrequently that I was thinking you were just sitting around percolating still. WOW. And, oh honey. And, awwwww. Please, when you get a chance, don't forget the pictures, and why the NICU, and damn it I wish I had your phone number. XOXOX
First of all, congratulations on your baby boy! How wonderful!
Second, my two boys were in the NICU for 3 and 4 weeks. One of them had to spend additional time in the hospital a little while after coming home. That was truly the hardest period of my life. Lots of crying, lots of pumping. I felt like it was so completely unnatural to have to leave them and go home. You are not alone. I am sorry they don't know when he will come home- it's so touch and go in there. But know that he WILL come home, and he'll be yours, all yours! The waiting is difficult- take care of yourselves and enjoy your sweet baby as much as you can.
Congratulations!!! What an amazing holiday present! I can't wait to see pics of the cute little boy.
Wow!!
Congratulations and welcome, Criket!
Things sound tough and I hope your baby boy is home safe soon.
Can't wait for the pics!
Congratulations! 6 lbs is great for a baby born 4 weeks early. Hoping that he's healthy and happy. We'll stay posted for further details. Take care.
Congratulations! We'll be wishing you all a quick homecoming!
Congrats! I wish you all the best!! He will be fine with two great mothers to love him!!
glad to hear he's doing well, we all are looking forward to hearing more about him.
Oh big news! I hope he can come home soon!
Oh my goodness - sounds like it was a shock arrival! So glad to hear that Cricket is alive and well though (and a good weight for being early), and hope that you are also OK after the C-section.
Wishing for a speedy release from the NICU for Cricket, and much love and healing vibes to you all.
oh wow! soooo excited for you and partner! congrats! i'll keep all of you in my thoughts for a speedy release from the NICU.

Goodness, what big news! And here I thought you were just busy with holiday stuff. Mombi and I wish you all a speedy recovery and to be together at home soon!
Oh my goodness. Wow. Congratulations to all of you. I hope all is well and that Cricket is home soon.

Congratulations to you, Partner, and Cricket! I'm sending calm, healthy thoughts your way. Best wishes!
Wonderful news that you are a Mommy! Thinking, praying and sending good thoughts your way that whatever is keeping Cricket in NICU goes away fast and that your little bundle of joy can come home soon.
We can't WAIT to meet him!
All the best from the hatchery (which is totally near where you are, so, you know, if you need to crash out or anything, just stop on by).
You have our love!

Wheeeeeeeee.... Congrats! And here I thought you were just moving or studying or something equally exciting.
Welcome to Mommy-hood, to both of you!
Kristin & Presleigh
