Lots going on for once

I always wished I had more to talk about on here but lately I've been wishing life were less eventful, lol. There was one really great thing, of course, and that is that our little angel finally came. Last Monday, December 7th at 6:50 pm Samuel Emmett Tirrell arrived at 8 pounds 8 ounces, 19 inches long. He is the perfect little baby. He is a good sleeper, a good eater, and hardly ever cries. He is such a blessing. Jason and I are so happy to have this little miracle as part of our family.

However, like I said life has been pretty crazy since then. I had something like a panic attack a couple days after he was born. The doctor said it probably had a lot to do with the adrenalin of childbirth and the hormones, plus just having a little baby to worry about. Just when I recovered from that we had to take little Sam to the hospital to to light therapy because he has jaundice. Not a big deal, just a big hassle having to keep getting it checked and waiting for his level to finally go down to normal. It went down at the hospital of course, but then went back up so we had to get a bilibed delivered to us at home for him to use. His levels are now down again and he shouldn't have to use the bilibed anymore. We will get him checked again tomorrow and see if it is still going down by itself and hopefully pretty soon it will all be done and over with.

A couple days ago I got a crazy fever, past 104. I had to spend the day in the ER and it turns out I have an infection, likely in my uterus. I felt really miserable that day, I could hardly move, but they gave me antibiotics in an IV and they kicked in by the next morning. I am feeling pretty much all better now. You would think that would be the end of it, right? But it seems to be one thing after another. Which is why I ask, when will the madness end? Jason went to go take what he thought was his mechanical engeneering final yesterday, only to find out he had it mixed up and it was actually his calculus final had to take. He wasn't ready at all for that test and so he thinks he did really really bad, lik 20% kind of bad. This is pretty devestating because he has poured probably 100 hours of work into that class this semester and so much stress over it. He has managed to keep a B and this final will probably discount all that hard work. It is really disheartening. He emailed his professor who didn't seem to give a crap so I guess all we can do is wait and see what happens. This is definetly making us want to transfer to Saint Martins even more.

Well despite all the bad, it has still been great because we have our little angel to keep us company. I'm really hoping that that will be the end of our issues and we can just relax and settle down with our little boy. Jason just has one more final to take, and it's one he's not really worried about so after that we will have a couple weeks to just relax and take it easy together. I'm really looking forward to that! Jason's mom has been here to help us and thank goodness for that, I know we would not have been able to surive all this without her. I think she is leaving Saturday but then my mom is coming the day after Christmas and Lindsey is coming early January so that will be fun. It's going to be so fun to have our first Christmas with our baby boy. I do have to write a 7 page paper and take 2 finals by Friday but I guess I wont think about that until tomorrow. Bluh I don't want to do school now that I am a mommy. Good thing this is my last little stretch and then I will be all graduated. I'm so glad to finally be done!
