Just a few clips of Donovian at 2weeks. Not too long before he started cooing :)
Donovian Just a few hours after I had him :)
After having Donovian, the nurse took him for about an hour or so for shots. Several hours later he was taken again to get circumcised. Below is a video of what looks like him shaking his head NO as I'am asking him questions. But, later on I learned he was hungry lol! But it worked out for the sake of the video :)

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
I told everyone on Youtube, Facebook & Twitter to ask me questions about my labor and delivery. Here are the most FAQ I got from you all. Feel free to ask more. I'll be glad to asnwer them all. NO question is off limits.
Follow me on Twitter @sharbunnyy :))
1. Did you have a Vaginal Birth or a C-section? I had a Vaginal Birth.
2. Does Donovian sleep in a baby crib? If not, why? No, He does not sleep in a baby crib. I feel alot more at ease when he's lying right beside me. Especially with him rolling over on his own now. He was sleeping in the bed in the picture below. But, he's way TOO big for it now.
3. Do you breastfeed, bottle feed or both? Both.
4.what cup size were you pre-pregnancy & what cup size are you now? I was a 36B pre-pregnancy now I'm a 41D.

13. When did you start clipping Donovian's nails? When he was just a couple of days old (he was scratching his face up pretty bad) It's a must! Take your time and be gently while doing it. You don't want to nip their little fingertips.

Labor & Delivery :)
Donovian was born June 5th, 2011 at 7:54 p.m. His official due date was May 30th :) I was going to be induced on thd 5th at 5p.m. LUCKILY, I started having contractions starting at midnight. By 9:30 a.m. they had started my Pitocin. (works FAST) lol! At 11:35 a.m. I was dilated to 3cm. I waited until I was almost 5 1/2 cm dilated to get my epidural. Once I got the epidural, at 7cm I started to feel the contractions again. Sooo, I had them give me more medicine to take the edge off the pain. No more than an hour later I was dilated to 10!!
He weighed 7lbs 1oz and measured 21inches. I have to say the contraction part wasn't AS BAD, as most people make it out to be. Some contractions are small, & then you have some that are breathtaking. PUSHING, is just exhausting! (lol) & with an epidural really really easy to do. I only pushed for about 30 minutes or so. The worse part OF COURSE has been the healing process. It was very frustrating for a few days wanting to bend down, stand up, sit down, lay down, and walk when/how I wanted around and not being able to do so. But, It's getting better ;)(Thank GOD)
I had MORE footage, but some things I just didn't want to show. (I don't think anybody would) lol! I know alot of expecting mommy's have questions. Feel free to ask!
Take Care,
