There were days when I wasn't sure it would ever happen but Joshua finally came. Our little Josh turned out to be not so little! He weighed in at 9 lb 12 oz!!! I was as shocked at that weight as anyone could be. I guess there is a reason why we had a scheduled c-section...I really don't think he would have come out any other way. As for the c-section, I was surprised at the painless way it happened. I didn't even realize they had started the surgery until I heard the doctor talk about how Josh was way down in my pelvis. I felt things going on but it just felt like a baby kicking me! I guess I was scared for nothing. My recovery has been really good so far. I do think part of that is because part of my stomach is still numb and I have some good pain medicine! I am just trying to take things slowly one day at a time and hope to feel better soon.
Some interesting things I have learned:
--it doesn't hurt to have 19 staples removed from your stomach
--big babies like to eat...and eat...and eat
--milk comes in faster when your baby is always trying to eat
--2-year-olds don't understand what "don't touch" means when it comes to mom's tummy
--did I mention that bigger babies like to eat a lot
--boys can be just as needy as girls when they are babies!
I have a sleeping baby so I need to get some sleep before the next feeding! I really will try to post a picture but so far our internet isn't letting me.
That is great! I'm glad he's a good baby and that you are doing well! It is a scary thing to think about!!
ReplyDeleteI just posted Joshua's photo in my blog... but how long was he?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are doing well and have a healthy hungry baby:) I can't wait till I meet my son, Dusty tells me to be patient, I in turn tell him it's his turn to carry the baby:)
