And Now For the Recovery

I'm not gonna lie.  The C-Section knocked me OUT.  I expected some pain and discomfort, but I didn't expect the extent of the pain and uncomfortableness.  My time in the hospital was challenging, as my body had to remember to do simple functions like moving my legs and using my organs again.  I was on rounds of pain killers and it was uncomfortable to move around the hospital.

Since I was unable to take care of myself, Kyle and I needed to lean on our family to step in for help.  We're so lucky they volunteered!

Pam and Dave watched Zachary the night Max was born.  The next day, they brought him to the hospital to meet his new brother.  Zachary wasn't too sure about baby Max, but he was a trooper and tried to make the best of it.  It was cute to hear him say "Hi Baby" for the first time.

After the hospital, Zachary went home to spend the weekend with my parents.  They helped keep his schedule and played with him.  My parents were even so great to do needed chores around our house so it wouldn't be so hard to come home. It made all of the difference!

We're home now and slowly recovering.  It took a village to help us over the past two weeks.  Thank you so much to Pam and Dave, Mom and Dad, Kristy and even my neighbors.  It's so nice to have support from our family and it wouldn't have happened without them!

Thanks for supporting our family when we needed it.  It means more than you know! 


The First Brother Meeting







Kyle brought Zachary over to watch the Bronco game with me and Max.  Zachary still wasn't having much to do with brother.

What a guy!  Kyle brought sushi for us on Sunday night.  It was delicious!

Going Home!

Welcome Home Max!
