Category: NikkiZ's Birth |

I’m hoping if I just keep coming back to post photos, I can get by with very little actual THOUGHT in these entries. Does it work that way?

MrZ just got back from running errands and taking a break from being at the hospital. He says he feels SO much better…he was pretty zapped before. I have been having to constantly get him to do everything for me and it’s been rough on him. He’s handled it beautifully, of course. I’m a lot more useful today than yesterday when I was tied to a catheter (BLAH), IV, and Morphine (YUM). But, I’ve still had major surgery so I can’t do everything for myself. So, he has been quite a busy bee and is now re-energized with good coffee from starbucks.

Oh - and I read my last entry? I think I may have triple dosed the morphine before writing that one. You’ll be happy to know they cut me off from morphine drips and am now to regular pain medicine. This means my entertainment factor has decreased by 20 times.

I’m off to finish my turkey sandwich that has taken me TWO HOURS to eat because my stomach feels full constantly.

    Oh, I think you get to use the “sorry I’m incoherent, I haven’t had much sleep lately” for at least the whole first year.

    Now, using the morphine as an excuse? probably not advised once you are out of the hospital.

    heh heh

  4. Cindy Says:

  5. alektra Says:

    Mmmm.. morphine. I love that stuff. They only give it to me when I get a kidney stone, though. What’s with that?

    Glad you’re doing better and Mr Z, too. LilZ looks SO happy to be with his sister! :)

  8. Karin Says:

    NikkiZ is so lucky to have a big brother like that! :) And in a few months she’ll start teething on those bracelets and love him even more. Hope you feel better as fast as possible.

  9. Mabel Says:

    Silly silly question, but is her name really Nikki??

  10. DA Says:

    Can’t help but grin each time I look at your Beautiful daughter…..but I notice everyone else does too :)

  11. RockStar Mommy Says:

    Isn’t it funny how everyone hospital in the damn world use the same receiving blankets? I have like 6 of them between having the 2 kids.

    Anyway, again, BEAUTIFUL! And LilZ looks so proud!

  12. stace Says:

    Sweetness… : ) LilZ is already a pro at this big brother stuff. I knew he would be!!

    Who do you guys think she favors?

  13. G~ Says:

    How adorable. The Li’l Bitty looks SO MUCH like a china doll! And looks as if Big Bro has it all down pat, this holding-baby-sister stuff. YEAH!

    Be very thankful for a willing-to-do-stuff-while-wife-recoups-from-baby-having!! :) Mine is really great about that too, but most gals I know couldn’t count on their dh’s to do one thing, so I am always thankful for him. :)
    Hope you are getting rested-er (heh) and stronger all the time!!

    ~hugs~

  16. Isabel Says:

    So in love with how happy LilZ looks.

    And what a beautiful little girl. Aw…

    Now go and get some sleep!!

  17. callistawolf Says:

    You can get away with it as long as you keep posting awesome pics like that. :)

  18. Ashlie Says:

    I check your site EVERY DAY. And? Of course I miss the whole baby thing ’cause I’m stupidly moving cross-country. Bah. But? Baby is absolutely amazingly gorgeous! She is quite the princess!

  19. Kay Says:

    awww…LilZ looks SO proud of his sister!! NikkiZ is simply adorable! Just keep posting pictures, and noone will even notice you not posting anything else! Well, at least for a while…

  20. brandy101 Says:

    Congrats!!!! What a beauty she is! I sure hope you are feeling better soon. It takes a long time to heal up after having a baby - esp. a c-section, from what I understand. Hope you are quickly on the mend so you can enjoy your new addition :)

  21. Grammy Says:

    Might I just say that I am not prejudiced or anything but those are the two most beautiful children I have ever seen…Absolutely and that picture is awesome. Both are but the kids one is great!!!!!!

  22. Charlotte Says:

    I’m sure that Lil Z’s father is great to him, so I don’t mean anything by this at all… but I NEVER noticed how much he looks like Mr. Z! I would never guess that they weren’t biological father and son. Can’t wait to see the first photo of the whole family. Congratulations and a speedy recovery!

  23. angela marie Says:

    A doll. A complete doll! And what a proud big brother. I love it!

  24. debby Says:

    I never have that feeling full problem..
    Look at Lil Zoot - what a handsome young man you have there holding his little sis!

  25. Kitty Says:

    NikkiZ is such a beautiful baby! And look at LilZ - you can tell he’s so happy to be a big brother.

    Congrats again, now get some rest!! :)

  26. Pamalamadingdong Says:

    MORPHIN? I got TYLENOL3’s after my c-sections!
    What the hell? But honestly…didn’t you secretly LOVE the catheter? After 9 months of constant peeing I was in love with the little device that did it for me. *sigh*
    She’s gorgeous of course and she makes me want to have another!
    xoxoxoxoxoxoxox

    Is that LilZ as nice a boy as he looks? He looks like a VGB. Sorry about the pain, kid. It was worth it for US to have our baby. So, is Nikki the name, or is it, maybe, ummmm. Patience?

  28. Janet Says:

    LilZ looks incredibly happy!!!

  29. halloweenlover Says:

    HURRAY!!!! Congrats on your beauuuutiful little girl! Both of your children are gorgeous and look so sweet actually!

    The comment about LilZ trying not to cry almost killed me.

    I’m so happy for all of you.

  30. Real Girl Says:

    So cute! With that gorge light hair and those long limbs (which I saw in other photos, although the modesty thing’s working too). Congrats on your literal bundle of joy!

  31. Jules Says:

    I’m so glad LilZ got to be a big brother like he wanted. It’s been a long time coming and I’m so happy for you and your family.

  32. countrymom Says:

    Aww.. you have such cute kids!!! Sleep when you can - I know that’s easy for me to say!! And I’m glad you recognize the fact you had major surgery - I didnt’ think of it that way when I had a section, or at least not at first, but its so true. your body has been through a lot. But lucky you, you have such a cutie to show for it@!!!

  33. romy Says:

    MissZ she is so precious and I think she looks like you :). Get well soon and thanks for keeping us updated.

  34. Paula Says:

    Congratulations! What a beautiful family you have there. I’m so glad that you all are doing fine, and the baby is so precious! Looks like big brother is very proud of his sister! I’m sure he will be a big help to you with the baby.
