![on giving birth and beyond …
my labor was, unfortunately, not a experience i’ll look back at fondly [ended up with cesarean] but doctors and nurses at the hospital were wonderful and took such good care of us
since i was recovering from a very rough labor my husband had no choice but to step up and take care of the baby … words cannot explain what an amazing father he already is
we were kept at the hospital an extra day because baby had jaundice and my little french fry had to spend more time under the lights
so almost a week later we were all able to come home as a family and that’s were the fun began …
nothing in life can ever prepare someone for the all day/night feeding schedule add in c section recovery + postpartum hormones = one overwhelmed mama [the urge to burst into tears was constant]
but every day it gets a little easier, like ‘i can do this’!! thank goodness my mom came for a few days, we would hand the baby over to her in the morning and get a couple of hours of sleep …
the baby has been so good [praying this doesn’t change], he has made it so much easier for us…such a lovely little man, we are incredibly blessed
my husband is flying to colorado for work tomorrow [wha? really? howamigonnasurvive?] … but my mom will be here again to help out [phew & phew]
cannot wait to get back into the groove of things [return emails, write thank you notes, work out, find out what’s been happening “out there”] …
lastly, thanks to you out there in tumblr for your sweet notes!](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0e0fobMf11qbowx7o1_500.png)
