Baby Snyder is here!

Finally! Last Friday, at 8:44 a.m. baby Snyder was born -- Zachary Allen Snyder. The whole morning went by very fast. Melanie and I left our house at 5:45 and got to the hospital where the staff prepared for the c-section. We walked in without a baby and out with a newborn. The c-section, was amazing, and I picked over the curtain a few times to see what was happening. I actually had the chance to see some of Melanie's organs and was the first to hold the kid after he got out of the warmers.

We got home on Monday and have been doing well. We are trying to get him on a schedule and Melanie is breast feeding. Although I have been doing some bottle feeding at the wee hours of the morning. I will have an updated website with pictures by tomorrow....stay tuned.

One week from yesterday!

In 6 more days baby Snyder will be here! Melanie's last day of work is on Tuesday, and my last day will be Wednesday. The c-section is scheduled for 8 am on Friday the 25th. Hard to believe that I will have this animal for the rest of my life.

He's Alive!

Yes, folks, it has been awhile since I have updated my blog, and people have been asking. It seems as though the past couple of weeks have flown by! Melanie is getting more and more tired and I am ready do things as the weather has just gotten better in Philly. I think we both of pregnancy brain as we just can't deal with like cleaning the house -- we actually hired a cleaning lady to take care of which was the best investment I have ever made.

We have learned that the kid is in the breeched position, although the doctor says that everything else is healthy. I don't blame him/her I would not want to come out of a small hold either. They have scheduled a c-section, but we are also waiting to see what happens.

One question people keep on asking is if the "room is ready" I guess it is read, what is one suppose to have done? We are picking up some mats for some artwork this weekend. Three more weekends until I have something that is with me the rest of my life!
