You guys are going have to bear with me for a little bit while I post a lot about a certain someone in my life.. hehe.. I hope you don't mind :) I'll try to post on some other topics soon but you can expect to see a lot of him.

He was born at a hospital in Den Haag on May 3rd and 4 hours later we were already home!
That night my in-laws passed by..

I had a really easy delivery and here in NL they do things a little differently. They actually have a nurse that comes to you home every day for the first week to check on you and the baby and help out around the house.
The lady that came the first day got sick though so we had a different lady the second day and then a 3rd lady for the rest of the time. It worked out so well though because we really hit it off with her, Helene. It was such a blessing to have someone here who could answer all my questions AND took care of the house and everything. Even just to have someone who would take care of the baby while I showered and such. She even brought me breakfast in bed-- I felt like a princess for the week!

One of the best part of the week for me had to have been when my parents came though.. It is amazing to have your parents meet your child..
Don't you just love it when things work out kind of perfectly?! About a month before my due date my parents realized that they were going to be pretty busy in the month of May.. it actually worked out that there was just one week that they would be able to come visit.. unfortunately you can't exactly decide what day baby will make his grand entrance.. but they went ahead and got the tickets anyways. Jason came just 2 days after his due date and so it was right on time! My mom got to meet him when he was 4 days old and my dad just 2 days later!

Keep the "baby" posts coming! It's so fun to see more of him. I have never known a baby to fall asleep for their first bath! So glad your delivery was smooth since you're mom couldn't be there to help you. I wish we had someone to come to the house after you had a baby here... They don't let you leave the hospital for 24hrs! LOVE the pictures of your mom and dad with him... so glad the timing worked out so well. Make sure to get your rest too :)
ReplyDeleteHey Keri! Thanks for the sweet comment! I know what you mean about the help here.. that's a Dutch tradition I love! :)
