I'm not exactly sure that is the way the stork thing works, but oh well. I've been pretty MIA from blogging for quite sometime now, and I thought it was because I didn't have much to say, but I think I didn't realize how bad I felt until I got this kid out of me.
Blake was born 6/7/2013 which I think is super cool because it's a math equation just like my birthday. If anyone can figure out how to make 12/6/85 into an equation let me know so Eric can join the club. Anyways I had a great experience with the Salem Hospital and completely recommend it for birthing a child. I also very much recommend an epidural, those things are amazing!!! Anyways what you all really want to be looking at is pictures of him so here they go:
He didn't quite end up looking like I expected. I also feel like most kids with a darker hair/eye/complexion parent look like the darker one, but Blake looks very similar to my baby pictures. I think he is going to be tanner though, which is good. He also has Erics long fingers and toes.
Before I had Blake I read all these what to do to make your hospital stay better, tips on things to bring, etc. but I honestly don't think you need any of that. My only tip is to bring an awesome husband, family and friends. They made a huge difference in how smoothly things went as well as transitioning to home life afterward.
