For Pete Squeaks

After weeks three weeks of my doctor going back and forth on his recommendation of a c-section or v-bac it was decided that we would end up with a c-section at my appointment this past Wednesday. It just so happened that the next available time to have a c-section was the next day at noon, (the same day i would've been induced if i'd had a v-bac). (I was less than thrilled at the prospect of a c-section; not only is it major surgery, but i have a month and a half of painful recovery with an active toddler, and a newborn). Thursday morning i had major abdominal cramps; it made me worried but more annoyed because i was going in for a c-section. We dropped off Kendal with my Mom and sister (p.s. thanks for watching her so much it was a big blessing!).  I got prepped and what seemed like a very short time later Peter Kenneth Darrington joined us at 12:39 pm. He weighed in at 7 lb 10 oz, and stretched out to 20 in. in length. My doctor and the staff on hand were wonderful through the whole thing, i felt a lot less anxious this time around. Pete came into the world bright pink and crying (cried way more than Kendal did). Once he fully got his lungs tested out he was a content little guy (and has been pretty much ever since). Casey, Kendal and i were all baldy little babies, so it surprised us to have Pete come out with a full head of dark long hair. It's cute hair though! Casey and i got to enjoy Pete for a bit, then Kendal came with my mom and sister to meet Pete. Kendal is in love with her brother. She constantly wants to know where he is, what he's doing, and what the nurses / others were doing with him. She's given him loads of kisses and loves, and enjoys hovering around him to see what he's doing. I had some : { side effects from the c-section; but once those passed i've been doing better. I still have a road ahead of me on healing, but i have a couple of sweet distractions to help me along. Pete is doing very well, he's been a healthy and good little boy since he was born. My only issue is that it's been hard to feed him well because he is such a sleepy eater. Pete doesn't cry a lot (yet); he has made some very cute squeaks though.
I have a saying i've said for years "for Pete Squeaks" i use it like i would the phrase "for goodness sakes"- I think if fits well with this post!

We are so in love with our little Pete!
