#2 is here and even got a name on the 2nd or 3rd day. He was only 9#12oz at 38w - much smaller than we had thought, but still a fair size. Other than the kid, July has not been the stellar month I imagined: long story short....moderate spinal headache + high fever/infection of undetermined origin + second lumbar puncture to rule out meningitis = debilitating spinal headache, several trips to the ER, a vast amount of morphine (not nearly as fun as it sounds), 11 extra days in the hospital. Thank goodness for health insurance.
If anyone knows me IRL, please feel free to volunteer your toddler-sitting services before he finally succeeds in killing off #2.

Congrats on #2, wow...sounds traumatic...hopefully someone will chime in with some help - my two are only 16 months apart and although my MIL is a PIA, she was a great help during those first few weeks, and I wasn't receovering from all of that!
well wishes for a speedy recovery
