Okay I can honestly say that this part of recovery is hard. I had a C-section and it is really hard to get around like I want to. I mean I have D but sometime I feel like less than a mother when I can’t get to my child fast enough when he cries! It isn't easy breastfeeding when you really can’t move with out hurting one way or another. I’m just trying to find a balance with out pouring all of my duties on to my husband. Don’t get me wrong I’m thankful that D is so hands on but I just wanted my delivery to go smoothly. Instead I’m cut up, bleeding, and have no energy. Yet I press on and pray to God that I’m healed in Jesus name, That he will give my family strength to get through this, and that depression will not over take me. I’m just thankful that me and my child are fine. It could be much worst for example. As we are being discharge I seen a mother and father pushing their child in a stroller with an oxygen mask on. I’m like we are blessed and I’m not trying to receive anything else. We are healthy and in our right minds and this is just a moment in our lives that we need to soak in. I mean this is the only time my child will be a newborn. This is the only time were I get to wipe his butt. This is the only time were he is just so MMMMmmm good! I mean do you see the cheeks on this kid? They are so good!!!! LOL This is the only time I’m going to be this tired.(hopefully) This is the only time where I can say we has a family begun! So even though I have my woe’s and crying moments I’m just so grateful for US. He is a smart old bud too.
I told D that we just need to take this all in because he is so smart and isn’t even a week old. Pretty soon he will be say,” Mommy can I pleas have some more”! I’m like they grow up so fast! And since he may just be my only child I'm going to stuck it up! Be a Darn Good Mother and enjoy! Just keep pray for us…
O yeah I add more pic. I can’t stop taking pictures of this kid!!!!!!!!!!!!! One Love…

Baby Love is here! Hell on earth is what the last 48 hours have been! My Bp would not going down on Friday so Dr. J said come the hospital. So we get here inform every body and ask for prayer. We get here and it’s pack! I mean we wait in the waiting room for 45 mins. Then they call me back there and I had to resign papers and go to the back so they could monitor me. We were back there for two hours and my bp went down but I was in pre labor so they admitted me. I get a room after they said that they didn’t have any. After two hours being there my doctor comes in breaks my water and they start me on pitocin. Not fun! I start off still 1 cm but I was 3 going on 4cm before they gave me my friend the Epidural. I thought I was still 1 cm and ask the nurse how do women hold out to 3cm. Now they say if you can to hold out that long so by the time you get to 10 you won't run out of Epidural. So I think Damon lost two ribs, three fingers, and I may have said some words that are not soooo kind before they gave me my friend. I mean I was in PAIN. It started 20 mins after she broke my water. So any way I started dilated really fast. I was already 7cm and I was only in active labor for four hours. So they thought I would go to 10 by three am. But I stop dilating after I reach 9 cm. So they started me on pictocin again. But by then I had my friend so it was all good. Then after 9 hours of getting to 10cm My child would not come down…. That’s right I made it to ten cm and he would not come down! So you guess it I had to get a c-section. I cried I cried! I did not want a c-section. I went thought all of this to get to the end to have a c-section. I was sooo mad! I mean I love my Epidural but it was not easy getting that thing in my back.
So after the dr left and it was me and D we decide that it was best thing to do. That's when I really start feeling the contractions. So we wait another hour because Dr. J had two woman that went into labor. Then they started pumping me up with meds and giving D his scrubs and off went. I was sooo tired from being up and not really eating that I was in and out for the surgery. But you better believe I felt her pull, press, and tugging on me. Then she made the comment of how he was lodge in my pubic bone and was not coming down on his own. So need less to say my baby had a cone head. But he is sooo cute. We took so many pic but don’t have the camera thing to download so here are a few from the camera phone. And yes I have a red bone.(For now any way he may get darker) But for now he is my red man!!! We are still in the hospital until Monday. I got out of the bed for the first time today. That was horrible! But I got to move around if that’s what you want to call it. So here is the measurements.
08-30-08 Sat. @ 11:59 am 7 pounds 4 oz and 20 inches long. He has a head full of hair and looks like my grandfather that is a red bone and his daddy! All in all he is a good baby sleeps a lot and we are learning how to breastfeed. He is so beautiful and very peaceful child. So I was in active labor for 9 hours and c-sections lasted an hour and 20 mins. So that's our story check out his pics.
