On Tuesday afternoon at 12:31, we welcomed our second son, Ryan Thomas Gruener into the world! He weighed 8 pounds, 12 ounces and was a whopping 22 and 1/2 inches long! (Cooked almost three weeks longer, Nicky was 9 pounds, 9 ounces and 21 and 1/4 inches long!) Here is a link to his [...]

So, the C-section was scheduled for 9:30 this morning. It’s now 10am and I’m back in my room, still growing the baby. Turns out a woman in labor had a prolapsed cord, meaning that the umbilical cord came out before the baby, so she needed my spot in the OR. Fine by me! Now [...] Yesterday and today, I made it my focus to make some meals that had enough leftovers to freeze for while I’m in the hospital and for a while after.

Everything looks good – we’ll have ONE more visit with Dr. Gabel before the baby is born, wow! By now, Nicky knows exactly what happens at the appointments and tells us all what to do next. It’s our turn when the nurse comes out and calls, “Jennifer”, [...] Nicky has really grown so much lately – I can’t believe how big he’s gotten and how he’s able to do SO MUCH now! Every time I take him to a playground, I’m so impressed with how much more he can do on his own that the last time. He can climb lots of [...] Here is a link to Nicky’s 2-year photos from JC Penney. Love ‘em! I wanted to make a comment about a poor customer service situation I dealt with recently. I don’t know how many people will see my post or even care, but it might make me feel better to air my grievances. Both Margaret and I had bought a Wahmies diaper to try out. Several months [...] |
