The last week has been a whirlwind of eating, sleeping and pooping, plus visits from all our favorite family and friends. Life with a new baby is definitely an adjustment, and we are enjoying each sleep-deprived moment, one day at a time :)
I am so very thankful for the amazing experience we received at the Topeka Birth and Women's Center. Brandon also said it was the best way we could have welcomed our lil guy into the world. The loving and supportive care we received from the midwives and staff at the Birth Center made this pregnancy and birth such a joyous experience. From prenatal care to birth prep/newborn care classes to the actual delivery, I am absolutely pleased with every aspect of service from the Birth Center. Our midwife, Norla, was such a calm and steady presence, giving me the reassurance that I could do this and that we were going to have a baby!! I wish more women would recognize their own strength and power, and choose to have a natural birth--if they are able. I kept saying, "This really isn't that bad!" throughout the day. Of course it was not a walk in the park, by any means! I simply recognized the energy and natural instinct that is part of having a baby & let my body do the rest. Cheesy? Maybe. But true in every sense. And worth every moment. Again, credit is due to the amazing ladies at the Birth Center, and we look forward to welcoming Owen's little brother or sister there...in a few years of course! Right now we are so in love with our little man, we can't wait to watch him grow!
So we are adjusting to this new life, thankful for a healthy, happy baby. Looking forward to meeting more family and friends in the weeks and months to come! Thanks to everyone for your prayers, good vibes and happy thoughts for Baby Hop during pregnancy & his arrival. We are truly blessed to have the love & support of so many great people during this exciting new time!
