The Schnabel's: Weeeeeee're Baaaaaaaack!

Hello all! I'm very sorry to those of you who don't have Facebook as I've been keeping that updated with pictures :( and have sadly neglected the blog...but were back! Here are some fun facts on how Kane's doing and how we're doing too! Starting next week, I will be posting a Kane blog update each Friday at some point, they may be brief or just pics sometimes, but I'm sure once we have a routine it'll be a bit easier to find time :)

Kane:

Breastfeeding is going GREAT! He's eating every 3-4 hours, 15-20 minutes both sides
About 12 diapers a day
Very gasey at night, Mylicon drops are our hero! For those of you who don't know, they're drops to eliminate gas, and work like a charm, google it! :)
Poopie diapers are his favorite! He likes to make them right after you've put a fresh one on him!
Loves Skin to Skin cuddle time
Already a heart-breaker :)
Hates baths
Sleeps like an Albertson, we have to wake him up to eat at night (only for a little longer though to gain weight since he's breastfeeding).
Recognizes the Beatles music that I played with head phones on my belly while pregnant

Chip:

So happy to be a dad finally
Loves blowing air on Kane's belly
During the middle of the night wakes up to change Kane's diaper while I get ready to breastfeed
Is a pro at burping
Official bath giver, especially while I'm unable to with my incision
Is dealing with all my hormonal changes great
Loves Kane & Tank cuddle time
Love when Kane falls asleep on his chest

Misha & Tank:

Were so glad to have mom home finally
Were very confused the night Kane was introduced to them
Realized that Kane wasn't leaving after about 4 hours
Kane's official babysitters
They are very concerned when he cries, they look at me like "Ummm, Mom, is he ok?"
Sniff his head once in the morning and once at night
When visitors come they seem to be very protective of Kane
They are now the three amigos!

ME!:

Crazy hormones
Hot flashes & Cold Flashes
From delivery to about 2 weeks postpartum, uncontrollable crying! Ask my mom, ask Chip, or Chip's mom the things I cried over. They varied from the pampers commercial to sending text messages that I got emotional over
Feeling of being ugly as sin, but thankfully a few highlights perked up my spirits, thanks mom! ; )
Slowing healing with my incision. I'm down to almost no pain medicine. I'm not taking the harsh stuff they gave me in the hospital, it was making me way too dizzy, so they gave me a non-narcotic medicine.
Trying to take it easy, sometimes I over due it, and then I REALLY feel the consequences
Love smelling my little baby! I told Chip, "This is the first baby I get to smell whenever I want, and I don't have to give him back!!"
Singing to him and rocking him to sleep, favorites right now are You are my sunshine, Edelweiss, Kay sera sera, & Silent Night!
Really enjoying breastfeeding. A connection that you can't describe or understand unless you do it since my mom expressed the same to me and I just didn't get it until now :)
Becoming a morning person. When you have that sweet little face to wake up to, mornings become much better!
Found a new appreciation for all mothers, especially my own :)
Love finally being a Mom!
