I'm back!!! Nathan and I got out of the hospital today and it feels so good to be home again and sleeping in my own bed. One thing for sure, I will never see Benny the same way again. Before he was small and petite but now he is so tall and huge. I never noticed it before. He is practically grown up and he feels so thick and strong in my arms. Nathan and I really enjoyed our time in the hospital because it was some great one on one time with our new son. For those of you who don't know, we named him Ephraim John Robles. We can't get over how completely different looking he is from his brother. We think this one has more "Kerr" in him than Benny. We just love everything about him. He looks like a cute little old man and we love watching his face wrinkle up. He has a very mellow personality so far, more so than Benny. The first thing the doctors said when he came out was, "What a big baby"! He is one pound heavier than his brother and a 1/2 inch longer. We were really surprised he was a boy because we were all expecting a girl, especially Nathan, who managed to convince everyone else too. It was fun to be surprised like that. I'm just so happy that it is all over with and my body can start to heal itself. The second time around wasn't as bad because I knew what to expect. After 27 hours of labor and 15 barf bags later, a C-section starts to look really really good. The whole time, I was thinking how blessed I was to live in these modern medical times where the baby and I could be monitored so closely and I could receive pain relief and at the end of it all a surgery by confident and experienced professionals. I shudder to think of what would have happened to Benny, Ephraim, and me if I hadn't lived in these times. It truly is a miracle. All the knowledge and medical equipment we enjoy are a blessing from God.
Anyways, sorry no pictures, but they will be coming soon. I'm just happy that me and my son are alive!!
