Oscar is one day old!
Well today was a good day. I was taken off everything I was hooked to and have been up and walking around. It's very slow going but I am amazed at how much better I feel tonight as compared to this morning. Oscar was very alert today and we had one really good feeding! My milk hasn't come in yet but he is definitely getting his part down. I just hope it isn't too much longer for some milk! This boy is hungry!
We are so blessed by all the encouraging words and comments! Thank you all for your support. I will be working on the birth story once I get the time line from our doula. It is such a jumbled memory to me. It was really so much harder and more overwhelming than I could have ever imagined. Jerry was and is amazing with his support and I know it will hit me soon. I still haven't cried and while I was in shambles during pushing, I still had no tears. I got a few when I heard Oscar cry but they faded fast. I was just so glad he was out!
We have one amazingly healthy boy on our hands! Here are some pictures of him today at one day old!

yay, andrea! try not to even think about milk, yet. it usually comes between day 3 and day 5 after birth. it's way too early for anything but colostrum. and, that stuff is liquid gold...exactly capable of meeting his needs at this point. just nurse lots and lots and lots. call me if i can help in any way. stace
Listen to Stacy. She's right on the money. That big guy is getting the high octane stuff right now, even if it isn't very much at a time. We still can't believe what a big healthy boy he is! GREAT JOB!!!
you're pretty :)
I love him! We're are totally stoked about seeing him and glad that we all feel better now!
Precious! He is just precious!
He is beautiful!
i'm with regan... you look fantastic, andrea!
I can't believe how cute you look! And he is gorgeous.
By the way, his stomach is about the size of a marble, so he doesn't NEED very much right now. Your body is still amazing at taking care of him.
Congratulations, you guys look great! Welcome Oscar!
What a beautiful family. I agree, you do look amazing Andrea, which only confirms that you are super woman ;-) Man oh man, can you believe that big boy was in your belly just a few days ago! It's a miracle. Seeing new born babies always reminds me of that!
I want to hug all of you! Hot mamma Andrea!
So precious...time flies take lots of pictures they grow fast.....believe me
I glad you're feeling good. I miss him so much already! Today's the big day right? Going home? Wish I could still be there!
