A Thank You

A great BIG Thank You to my Midwives, Theresa and Anne, who were the midwives that attended the birth. Also to Helen (student midwife who assisted in the delivery.) And of course Taina who was also on my 'team'. You have made this birth an incredible experience for me.

And of Course Melanie, my doula friend. You are awesome. Thanx so much for listening to my ranting and complaining this ENTIRE pregnancy! You have been a great support for me, and you were awesome at the birth. (sorry I didnt labor longer so I could have REALLY put you to work! haha jk)

After the birth, Evan and I went across the street to Best Western and booked a room so we could get some rest. After a couple hours it was time for Kael and Naveah to meet their new Brother. Evan went and picked them up from Nana and Papa's house and brought them to the hotel. Kael was quick on noticing that the baby wasnt in Mommy's tummy anymore. He walked over to check out Jacek then put his hand on my tummy and said "you have a little tummy? not a Big tummy? Baby came out of your tummy?". I couldnt help but giggle. How cute it was to see them with him. They were so gentle with him, kissing his head and holding his hand. It was a short lived moment as the excitement of being in the hotel was hard for them to resist running around and checking everything out, but it was still a cute moment none the less. Naveah has taken to calling him "my Baby" or "my Jacek" and is constantly smothering him in kisses. She always wants to hold his hand and is the first to go running to him when he starts crying. "Baby Okay?" she'll ask me.

Kael, I can tell, is still learning the whole 'Baby making process'. He is always reminding me that the baby isnt in my tummy anymore. We had to go meet the midwives again 24 hours after Jacek was born to do his blood work. When we pulled up to the clinic I laughed when Kael then said "Oh! we're at the midwife? They going to put baby back in your tummy?". Kids really do say the darndest things. Kael is such a big helper. He always wants to help me with Jacek and is always asking if he can hold him. Hes quick to run and get me a diaper or wipes when I need one and has a hundred and one questions to ask me about him. Hes so curious. I cant wait to see all three of them grow together.
