Hi Everyone… This is my first post since the big event took place.  Boy has it been a whirlwind!  I can’t believe the anticipation of Dylan’s arrival has already come and gone.  Thank you all for your thoughts during this exciting time for our family.

Well… today (October 8th) is my official due date and our baby boy is  now 5 days old.  My sweet husband did a great job of the posts while I was pre-occupied with other things.    As I stated in an earlier post, Dylan certainly arrived in his own fashionable way VERY early on Saturday (10/3) morning.  Looking back at it now, it was one of the most awesome experiences of my life!  I would have never guessed that my water would break or that I would go into labor on my own.  Oh, was I wrong!  At 1:16 on Saturday morning my water broke and the excitement began.  The delivery went much smoother than my delivery with Drew and it was just a great experience!  Drew’s delivery was also a great experience, just much, much longer!  St. Vincent’s Hospital is where I had him, and that hospital is awesome… I truly didn’t want to leave on Monday.  All the nursing staff, doctors, etc were so accommodating and helped with all those things I’ve forgotten over the last 3 years.

We are all back home now and have been working on developing our new routine.  Drew adores Dylan and loves to hold him.  He is already and will continue to be such a great big brother!  Drew is back at daycare and we are working hard to keep him in his normal routine during this time.  He is having some adjustments, but we did expect to have some… and I feel like he is doing better as each day goes by.  We have been making special Drew time in the afternoons when he gets home.

Will have more updates soon…
