Peetee has arrived!


Well, Peetee has arrived and made it very difficult for us to adjust to his new name. Don't worry if you still call him Peetee, so do we. His official name is Drew Thomas Meyers. He was born Friday, December 28, 2007 at 6:10 via C-Section. His mommy worked very hard, but Drew decided he wanted to come sunny side up and put mommy in back labor. (Most horrific pain ever!) Since he was stuck they rushed us to the C-section and within a short amount of time he arrived. I know it seems really easy. It's not! The recovery sucks! We were in the hospital from Thursday-Monday and then I actually begged to come home. He is a little jaundice so we had to stay and wait to see if they would let him go home. Drew baked in the sun for 2.5 hours in the hospital window and he ended up being okay, but then mommy's blood pressure was really high. To make the story short, we were sent home and mommy is on 7 different kinds of medication, including one that makes her feel very drunk all the time due to her pregnancy induced hypertension. Trust me this drunk is not fun either. Basically someone has to be with me at all times because it is a potent drug and makes my heart slow down. Hopefully, when I see the doc next week all will be better and I can come off that drug. Andrew has been a wonderful husband and father. He even watched the C-section and didn't faint. Andrew goes back to work tomorrow (Wednesday) and I will be with Drew by myself. Thank God for grandmas, grandpas, and friends!
