My Little Piece of Heaven

Sometimes life changes at the snap of a finger. I had every intention of being back to blogging right after Memorial Day weekend! Before I knew it I was in the hospital with symptoms of pre-term labor and having a hard time trying to get things under control.

We greeted our little baby boy after an emergency c-section at 4:32 pm on Saturday and life hasn’t been quite the same since! He was 8 weeks early and went straight to the nicu. He is doing well and seems to be doing better every time we go to the nicu to see him. He was 4 lb 7 oz at birth and 17 1/2 inches long. He’s got a fabulous head of brownish blonde hair that looks like he had professionally highlighted. He looks so much like his older brother did when he was a newborn and he’s just the sweetest thing in the world. We couldn’t be happier to have him here!

Thanks for being patient with me and still visiting Cupcake Diaries, even though there hasn’t been anything new for a while! I’ll be up and running again soon. Thanks for all of your support! I appreciate all of you for being part of this blog and making it what it is. I hope you have a great day and are enjoying summer vacation so far!
