Oh snap! It's November and the culmination of a certain someone's blog hiatus.
I was supposed to come armed with a birth story. Ha, ha...I forgot about a little thing called time. Anyone else want to write it for me? Here's a list of key words and phrases to include...
scarred cervix, "Don't push!", epidural, shoulder dystocia, meconium, compressed cord, vacuum extraction, stitches (plural...damnit)
That's not a particularly happy word bank, is it?
Eh, can't win them all. Besides, look who we got in the bargain! I crack up every time I look at that photo.
Damn. Foiled by time again. No all inclusive five week update...
I've yet to master the art of NAK (nursing at keyboard) and, to be honest, I'm not so sure I want to. Multi-tasking is so last year.
Jeez, that list of words even made me cower! And if the words are in the same order taht they happened, that means the meconium happened before the birth?!?!?! Good times . . . but we're glad to see you all doing so well!

Precious D'Anjou is a pretty precious fella. I know the birth story isn't the most ideal, but you DID have a VBAC and you both are pretty healthy and you seem to be healing in a pretty well... So, even though those words up there are kinda scary, they are just words now. You did an awesome job and so did D'Anjou!
BTW, I tried typing with only one hand, but found what you seem to have found - it's great to nurse with boy and not have to worry about this silly machine. Your worth the wait!

I've been checking for an update ;) but agree that multi-tasking could be challenging. Congrats on the VBAC - even with the naughty words tossed in!
take care!!

He looks so different already! And man, just the words you used to bring up your birth story... scary stuff, man. I'm so glad that you are both doing so well.
