Zack with his very own Loopey the Dog.
My helper. Every night Ethan made Zack's bed
A very proud big brother
An even prouder big brother
Born April 3rd 2009 at 9.27 am 8 pounds 6oz. 51 cm long.
Well I must say that I have been a little slack with photos since I got home from hospital, but blogging has been the last thing on my mind. Zack's birth went really well despite it taking an hour for them to put in my Spinal. It was definately one of the most painful hours of my life as they pushed that large needle in and out of my back trying to find the right spot.( leaving me with some rather impressive brusing on my back, and now on going back pain), but other then that all went so smoothly. I had no reaction to the spinal this time which was my biggest fear going in.
A few hours after he was born auntie Erin brought the boys in to see him. They were very excited ( especially Daniel). Infact they were so excited that they made Matt bring them back in that evening. When they came back in the evening they had bought Zack his own Loopey Dog. Now for those not knowing what a Loopey dog is...Loopey is the name Ethan gave to a stuffed Dog when he was 4 and it has become his best friend coming everywhere we go. Daniel last year decided he wanted a dog just like Loopey and we happen to find a baby size Loopey for him and even Uncle Andrew has a Loopey that the boys gave him ( only he named his dog smooch). So it was only fair in the boys eyes that Zack get his own Loopey too!
Anyway after 4 1/2 days I was so over hospital and ready to come home. As soon as I got home I felt SO much better. My back isnt nearly as sore sleeping in my own bed as it was on those horrible hospital beds, and it is so nice not having midwives coming in constantly checking on everything. We have even ventured out a couple of times to do a little pre-easter shopping. Thankfully Zack seems to be sleeping really well and only is waking once during the night. So far he is a really easy baby, and certainly the best feeder out of all of them. He attaches really well which has meant minimal damage this time. However with my milk still yet to settle I am very sore at the moment, hoping it will change soon.

Congratulations Kate! Zack is such a gorgeous little man. That is incredible that he is only waking once a night, hope he keeps that up for you.
Aah don't u love it when the milk comes in!! He looks very beautiful. It's great that you have been able to get outside for a bit. Hey if he is only waking once already, I'd say he will continue that. 3rd babies tend to be the good sleepers.
What a beautiful baby boy you have Kate! Hope the back pain gets better, and the 1 time waking stays!! Thanks for posting some pictures.... it's so nice to see him and hear you are doing well. x
Congratulations Kate, he is gorgeous, looks like you have some great little helpers there too.
I'm sure they are totally smitten with baby Zack!
oh, he's lovely kate! well done and i'm glad it's all over for you. hope the 'soreness' ends soon and you get some rest. Let's hope he's a good sleeper- that's always a bonus. take care x
