It's a BOY!

Hello all! We did finally have our baby and it was a BOY!!! Titus Creed was born on January 1, 2009 (the day before Zoe's 5th birthday) at 8:09pm. He weighed 8 pounds 2 ounces and was 20 inches long! :) We had him at a birthing center, and it was my first time to have a natural birth, meaning no epidural! :) I am still surprised that it's over and it all seems soooo surreal to me! I am recovering so much faster this time, although I don't know why! I am however, exhausted due to the round the clock every two hour feedings! I'm glad he's eating great, but I am finding it hard to get naps in here and there because most of the time someone who needs supervision is awake! :) Haha! I will survive! :) I may not be blogging much in the next few weeks! I have sooo many cute pictures and so little time! :) Here are a few!





We came home the night he was born at 11:30pm, so the next morning was a bit like Christmas with a new brother home! Zoe asked me why I didn't wait and have him on her birthday!!! Hahaha! I'm sure she'll be happy next year when she has her own day to turn 6! :)











So, there he is in a "few" shots! Hahaha! I have many more to share! The last two were from two days ago and the first ones are from the first day, so I will probably be pulling out a few of my favorites from time to time to add to a blog! Fun stuff! I may not do that, though, just because it's hard to keep up with my own addiction to snapping the camera! I get overwhelmed when it comes to picking a favorite picture!!! We shall see!!! I may end up putting my birth story on here? Not sure! It is a good one, if anyone is interested in having a baby at a birth center. I need to get it written anyway, so I'll have to get on that! Blessings for the New Year!!! We got ours off to a running start! Haha!
