{Soulfood Friday}

What a difference a week makes. I am finally an Omie! Little Rowan Joseph was born by Cesarean Section on Sunday 13th of March 2016.
Mama and baby are doing well.
Emmy had quite a bumpy ride at the end of her pregnancy. Baby was being monitored for decreased movement when they picked up that she had the first signs of  pre-eclampsia which can be dangerous for both mothers and their babies. In fact I had to be induced for the same reasons when I was 41 weeks pregnant with her.
So she was induced on Thursday but by Sunday it still hadn't taken. The OB tried to break her waters to get labour going but her cervix was posterior and only dilated about 1cm so it was impossible.
They decided that a C Section would be the best option at that point.
Emmy was very brave during the whole experience.
Rowan was born a dainty 6.3 and barely fit into any of his newborn clothes although knowing babies, I'm sure he'll grow into them fast enough.
He is ever so calm and peaceful but feeds a lot, especially through the night. He has the sweetest eyes and a curl right at the top of his head, and he loves to look around and take in everyone's faces.
The girls are all thrilled to be Aunties. We actually all came down with flu last week and to top it off Nola had Chicken Pox so she hasn't met her little nephew yet, but we are all looking forward to lots of cuddles this weekend.

 

Every Friday I'll be pausing to notice something from the week that has nourished my soul.

A special, sacred-everyday moment captured on camera, or perhaps a snippet from a book, a recipe still warm from the kitchen or something whimsical that simply made me smile.

Here are a few simple things that have fed my soul this week.
