I realize that I left this blog hanging way back at the end of July but August was a doozy and September trumped August. I was in and out of the hospital throughout August with kidney stones, kidney infections, evenings of contractions, etc. Add to that what was our third move during the pregnancy, and the blog fell to the side. I cannot remember if I ever shared this or not, but the rental house we were living in during the construction of our new home was hit in the 27 April tornadoes that hit North Alabama, forcing us to move again before our final move in mid-August. The cherry on top was that by late August I was so swollen and miserable that I couldn't even reach my laptop to type.
Everything paid off on 8 September when our baby boy arrived six weeks early. He spent 10 days in the NICU in part because of being premature and partly because the birth was quite traumatic for him and me both. I was in labor for 27 hours and actively pushed for seven hours. By the time it was all said and done he and I were beat up pretty badly.
Here we are now with him home safe and sound.
