Trick or Treat? That is what we were wondering at 2:00 am when I woke up from a pretty good contraction. When I realized that my water broke I got a very sudden answer, our little girl was a big treat that was coming our way on Halloween day.
As many of you know we don't use names on this blog so this is going to be the same for our baby girl. If you don't know the name already you'll have to email us, call us, or catch us on Facebook. However, I don't want to always call her baby girl so... one of our friends said "since she was born on Halloween her nickname will always be Boo and that's what we'll call her". Great nickname F&C, and one that we are going to use for this blog. Our little Boo.
That being said, Little Boo was born at 11:54 on Saturday, October 31st. She was 5lbs 3oz and 18 inches long. She was 3 weeks and 2 days early... man I hope this is not a sign of things to come because I am never early:) According to Baby Center 37 weeks is full term and the Doc wasn't concerned about her early arrival. She did not have to stay in the NICU and all of her "tests" she passed with flying colors. She's just an over achiever who was determined to come out and check us out NOW!
As with all first time parents my Hubby and I are working on figuring this whole thing out. We had a couple of snafoos with nursing (more on that later) and we are trying to figure out this sleeping schedule deal, but all and all we are holding up pretty well, minus the messy house and constant daze & confused look on our faces. But we have had great friends come by and bring meals and Mom B. is coming to save the day in a little over a week....
Well I hear her working up to a pretty good cry so I better get going....
