I was hoping for a VBAC but showing no signs of progressing past 1cm, no contractions, no thinning, and not being allowed or wanting to be induced it was decided a c-section would be best. Once again the surgery went really well and I was able to recover like nothing happened. I guess since my body doesn't like to actually labor it works out nicely that my body handles a c-section very well. Sean kept trying to tell the nurses that when I say my pain level is a 1 it really means like a 4. After listening to this for a day I had to yell at him to stop doing that, I really felt good. I was able to get up and walk around and SHOWER quickly. I think this c-section was easier then Killian's. At a week out I have already stopped taking my pain meds which I only took at the hospital and at bedtime. I honestly just forgot about them and feel good.
At my one week appointment the nurses and doctors were telling me that I am not normal. I just laughed and said okay. I am healing perfectly according to the doctor and I have already lost 20 pounds. Which is very exciting since I only gained 18 pound this pregnancy. I doubt the pounds stay off since Sean's mom stocked our freezer with food and lots of cookie dough!
Killian has been adjusting well to her new brother. We have had attention flare ups, but we have worked through them and found ways to make sure she feels like she is getting her time too. She loves to sing to Jameson and give him lots of kisses. Jameson is a great baby and we have worked out a good schedule.We can't wait to see him grow and learn!

ReplyDeleteI was so happy to find you keep a blog so I can get caught up on everything since we didn't get to see each other while I was back! I don't know how you find the time to make such nice posts! I hope you are feeling better and I wish Jameson a happy second-month-birthday (is that a thing? haha) Let me know what email you are using now and I will send you an update from this side of the ocean.
