After seven months of 'the perfect pregnancy', and the day before MY birthday, someone just had to make an early entrance to this world.
At exactly 5:00am on Tuesday, March 24, we welcomed baby Brian. Weighing only 4lbs 1oz he was small but mighty and could be heard screaching all through the maternity ward - music to or ears!
After being whisked away for multiple tests, we finally got to hold the little guy.
Home to Brian for the first two weeks of his life was the Level II nursery at Mt. Sinai. Here, the nurses took great care of him - luckily he had no health issues, he just needed to grow. Brian was then transferred to a hospital closer to home for a week - St. Joeseph's. It was here that the nurses put me through a three-day baby boot camp and sent us packing Easter Monday.
Leaving the hospital, Brian weighed just over 5lbs and was dwarfed by his car seat and clothing - the beginning of life at home with mommy and daddy!
