At 3:32am Sunday morning, we became a family of four. I'm currently experiencing the delirium of 3 nights with no or very little sleep so I'm going to make this short. I will likely check out for a while, but will share some reflections on this birth, which I did rock, if I may say so myself. Going into labor naturally and progressing completely on my own all the way to pushing him out was somewhat awe inspiring to me - I can finally see why and how women feel transformed after a natural childbirth. It was really quite empowering. I will confess that I was screaming for an epidural at one point, just before it was time to push. Of course by the time the guy arrived the baby's head was half way out.
Nursing is going well.My milk is already in! This kid is going to be a boobie-monster just like his brother.
Speaking of the big brother, SchmoopyBoy is loving him some baby. I can't believe how great he is responding to him. Here are some quotes:
"He's so small!"
"He has no teeth!"
"He is so soft!"
"I love him" (followed by kiss, yes I started to tear up at that point)
"You have a soft big round belly now!"
Congratulations!!! Well done! Can't wait to hear more!
ReplyDeleteI love the last quote! LOL
Congratulations! I am so happy you had an empowering birth experience. After this little piece, I am really looking forward to reading your birth story, if/when you decide to share it.
