You may {or may not} have noticed I disappeared for a week-ish. Our baby boy was born on June 29, 2010 at 2:02 AM!
I went into the hospital on Sunday June 27th to prep for an induction the next morning. I was induced on Monday, labored for 17 hours, and Samuel was born via c-section at 2:02 AM on Tuesday June 29th! He weighed 7 lbs 10 oz and was 21 inches long! He’s so long and skinny!
Everyone is doing great, and I am recovering amazingly well. I was up and walking around the next day, and I was able to stop pain meds less than 24 hours after my c-section. I am going to credit a lot of exercise during my pregnancy and the fact I had a similar incision done for surgery last summer.
We left the hospital on Friday around lunchtime, and we have been enjoying having him home.
Samuel is a great little sleeper & eater. Now that we have breastfeeding down, things are going so incredibly well. Nathan and I are over the moon, and we can hardly stand to put Samuel down. One of us is almost always holding him 
I should be back to posting some recipes again this week, but as you can tell I am WAY behind. My parents are in town this week, and then my in laws are coming shortly after…but I want to get caught up! I have some great recipes to share with you, and I am planning to get back to menu planning next week.
I’ll leave you with a picture of Samuel in his going home outfit:

Congratulations! He’s a cutie. So glad things are going well.
He’s absolutely precious! Congratulations to you both
He’s an ANGEL!! Congratulations!
Congratulations…what a cuttie:)
Rick LOVES the Browns’ outfit… (I’d prefer Patriots.) I guess the little guy is still pretty darn cute, regardless!
Congratulations!!!
I love that he’s all bundled up in NFL attire in June – adorable! And he was born on my mom’s birthday. I’m so glad to hear you’re all doing well and so happy for you – congratulations to all!
I didn’t know about your foodie blog. I love it! You are really amazing with all you do! Samuel is just so cuddly, soft, and precious! I could just squeeze him
