Easton Kinnick Schulte

He is finally here!  We have waited a VERY long time for this day!  He was born on Tuesday, June 9 at 12:34pm.  He was 8 pounds and 5 ounces and 19 inches long.  Everything with delivery went pretty smooth.  We went in Monday night to be induced first thing Tuesday morning and ended up going into labor during the night.  So I never needed the pitocin the next day.  We had a few issues with the epidural (it stopped working completely for about 1 1/2 hours) and had to be redone, but other then that, it all went very well.  (Not fun at all during that 1 1/2 hours).

We are home now and doing great.  He sleeps alot and we have to wake him up to eat.  Which is the other thing he does a lot of! 

Payton is doing great.  The first day he came to see us at the hosptial he was pretty reserved and shy.  I think he was completely overwhelmed by the entire situation.  But by the next day he was totally different.  Payton has always been like that.  It takes him a little while to warm up to things and he has to do it on his own terms.  He was pretty funny the next day at the hospital.  I was up and walking around and he must have noticed that I still didn't look like my old self, because he said, "Why is the baby back in your belly."  LOL!  I had to tell him that he was out of my belly and it will take mommy a while to look normal again.

Now that we are home, Payton is very possessive of Easton.  If we are talking to loud, he tells us that we have to whisper as to not wake him up.  Or, if Easton is fussing, Payton will run up to him and tell him that it is okay, because his big brother is here.  He also like to sing him songs and read to him his books.  He has decided that he does not like the dirty diapers though!  If I am changing one, Payton will walk around holding his nose and start gagging!  He can be pretty dramatic when he wants too!

 

I am really looking forward to being home for the next 12 weeks and bonding with Easton and geting to spend more time with Payton.  I know it is going to fly by and be over before I know it.  So I am trying to treasure every possible moment with my boys.  

 

I will try and add posts and pictures frequently, but it may not be as often as I would like because we are kind of walking around in a sleep deprived stuppor around here!
