2 Weeks!

Aubt Marty and Uncle Gary came to visit
Almost out










I can not believe it has been two weeks since the little man's big debut. What a difference a week makes! He is doing so great sleeping and eating and even letting me have some nap times too. It is amazing how much they change in one week. He actually slept 5 hours straight last night!

J.Ed was in Delaware last weekend celebrating the upcoming marriage of our friends Ryan and Lee. He had such a great time, and was so thankful to get to spend that time with friends. I will say absence makes the heart grow fonder tough, we missed him around here and I am pretty sure he missed Robbins too. Luckily he had pictures to share with everyone so he was talked about a lot! Here are some pictures from the past week, Enjoy!

Happy 1 Week Birthday!

the ride home from the hospital



So as of yesterday Robbins has officially been here one week and what a week it has been! It has for sure had its ups and downs. We will have a really good day and then a really horrible night. He has his days and nights mixed up which makes 10pm to 2 am a blast! In spite of all this I'm obsessed. It really is wonderful to love something so much so fast. Enjoy a few photos from the past week! Thanks to all the visitors and best wishes.

Saying our first hello
The new family of three!
It's official! Robbins Bilby Lowe made his debut on August 10, at 8:03 pm. He is 7lbs. 7ozs. and 21 inches long. So he ended up not being big but the way he was positioned made me measure so much bigger, my Dr. said. We went to the hospital at 11:30pm on Sunday night and I got induced around 1:00am. I had my epidural around 6:30 am and was fully prepared to have the little guy by lunch but he had another plan. After about 15 hours of labor and a botched epidural around 5:30pm my Dr. started bringing up C-Section. After it became clear he wasn't budging, I went into the OR for the section at 7:30. It took about an hour and J.Ed was with me, scrubs and all. It was so incredible, to all of a sudden here this crazy loud cry come from behind the sheet, I was like woah, he's here! J.Ed got to take him to the nursery and show him off to all the family, a very proud dad for sure. After the surgery it was so great to come back to my room and see all of our family and good friend there to welcome Robbins into the world.
The last few days are starting to blur together but all is well. Robbins got a clean bill of health from the pediatrician and passed his hearing test. I'm doing well, moving around as much as possible and feel really good. We have had a bunch of visitors and have had so much support from friends and family. Thanks for all the texts,email, and phone calls it has been so great knowing so many people are praying, supporting and encouraging us. Hope you all enjoy looking at him as much as we do!
