He has arrived!

So 14 days past my due date I was induced at UW. 12 hours later Zane Jack arrived…just shy of the 4th of July. He weighed in at 9 pounds 11 ounces and 22 inches long. I was able to endure another pain med free birth…which was really important to me even though I was in the hospital. Originally the plan was to have a home birth. Ah, Zane had other things in mind. I won’t bore you with all the details….I could ooh- and ahhh about Zane for days. He’s an amazing little guy and so different from his big bro. My best friend Jessica asked me once if I believed that baby’s are born with their personalities in tact. I’m still on the fence about it. But it is quite amazing to see such a difference in 2 kids that come from the same gene pool.
I haven’t quite decided when I’ll be back in the swing of things of producing clothes. I’m still napping a lot during the day and all in all really tired. But then again it’s only been 10 days since I gave birth. I have to keep reminding myself that I am entitled to taking a break right now. It’s so hard for me to take it easy…I go a little stir crazy…not to mention I get BORED of just sitting around. Right now I’m thinking the 6-week mark. Seems like so much happens at the 6-week mark….
The bleeding stops….you can have sex….you can start a fitness program/get back in the gym….and why not add another…I’ll be back at the sewing machine at nap time.
Though I highly doubt I’ll be able to sit still that long. Like I said it’s been 10 days and I’m already looking at my stack of fall fabrics and thinking …hmmmmm…..what will this become?
3 days after Zane arrived I already had him modeling. Here are pictures of my new burp cloths and my new baby.
