Congratulations!!!!Hey everybody! I’m popping in to update everyone. My son was born this morning at 8:35 am. One ounce shy of 7 pounds. Holly’s spinal epidural worked and she was able to be awake for the whole surgery and get to hold him when he came out. This surgery went easier and faster even than the first one.
We are both up in mother baby right now. Holly and I just finished dinner, and she is breastfeeding Jason at the minute.
Hearing nothing “official” yet, but it would seem like Saturday sometime is when we are going home. Head nurse mentioned 48 hours for C section. Holly is doing great pain wise.
I would have never imagined in my wildest dreams that this soon on “Day 1” I would be having a normal conversation with Holly and watching Harry Potter in the hospital!!
Thank you all who prayed for me and wished me well. I felt it today. I hope to have a better update tomorrow!
Can I spend the night on Saturday? I'll bring my Halloween candy!DAYS TO JOL DAY #4: 2

Good Morning Halloween Friends and Pumpkin People! Moving right along in our counts today - just two days until JOL Day #4, getting ready to break into 50's territory pretty soon on Fall Pre-Season, and we will have simultaneous special days in 5 more days when we reach 90 DAYS TO THE BERS and 150 DAYS TO HALLOWEEN. I don't think I've ever done anything "special" to ring in 90 days to The Bers, but this year I feel like I will. Just to honor the season and put a bow on everything we went through.
Holly heads to the OB/Surgeon today to have the woundvac removed and hopefully get clearance to drive again. I know she's been looking forward to that. Can't believe it's been a whole week since she had surgery and our son was born.
It got cool here yesterday - the high only reached 55, and with the chilly rain it felt much cooler. We turned on the pellet stove yesterday when the house started to feel chilly. What a huge dose of feels, and also probably a personal record, I can never remember needing HEAT of any kind this late in May. There might be ONE more night like that, Saturday the high here is only in the low 60's, and overnight it gets down in the low 40's. That would honestly be a PERFECT addition to JOL Day, the pellet stove burning and some fall candles and the electric Jack O Lantern. It would really feel like October!
Have a great day!

Good Morning Halloween Friends! Happy Jack O Lantern Day! It's a mini-version of the Halloweekend, that is coming in just 5 more months!
You can see on the counts above that we are within striking distance now to the 150 DAYS TO HALLOWEEN milestone! It will be the very last time in this current thread that we will have a 150 Day milestone. I suspect the counts will flow like water after that, so hold on to every day and try and enjoy it!
Tonight I will be re-visiting Haddonfield and watching "Halloween 4", which I have long stated I think has the very best "Fall Opening" of any movie I've ever watched. I think it is the perfect movie to watch right here on the eve of the SweatFest beginning, armed with the comfortable knowledge that in just ONE MORE SEASON, it will be OUR TIME again.
I have also just a short treat to share - the AI photos I finally got around to creating for my "Halloween Town". Hope you enjoy:
