Birth Story

More like a novel so click here if you dare. And I had no time to be poetic about it, it's strictly facts man.

WOW. That's a roller coaster of a birth story!

I'm wondering if you had the same crappy anesthesiologist for your epidural that I had . My epidural actually FELL OUT and the man blamed ME (oh yes, I pulled it out on purpose so I could feel the pain...) I have heard St. Joes has a fantastic epidural guy. Dr. Wang or Wong or Wee..something. I SO did not get him.

What an amazing story you told. You are progressing each day; I can tell. I can feel the love you have for Julian from your story. You and Bryan are going to be amazing parents and he is one luckly little guy. Can't wait to see him. Much love to all.

Great birth story mama. It sounds like you did great even though it didn't work out how you planned... that's the thing with plans.

I can imagine how hard it must've been for you not to get to snuggle with Julian right away... my heart broke every time they took Elaina to the nursery.

I'm glad breastfeeding is becoming easier for you!

OMG I'm crying. What a great story. Julian is a very, very, very lucky baby to have such awesome parents.
What was your awesome nurse's name? I prolly know her... I think I know every nurse @ St. Joe's. (that happens when you live there for 3 months :) )
Congratulations again! I can't wait to meet him!
( oh and I hope you got his footprints.. so you can get your foot tattoo. I'm such a dork)

Thanks for the birth story! I know you didn't get the birth you dreamt of but you know what? I figure the first time is just a trial-run anyhow. Next time, you'll be more prepared & know better what to expect. You're doing great! Keep up the good work, Mama!

Great story! Thanks for sharing. I now feel like somehow I was there. Glad to see things are getting better--they will every day. Before you know it you'll be able to do EVERYTHING with one hand. Congrats again. You two are great parents.......

Thanks for sharing your story!
I too dreamt of a natural unmedicated birth with breast feeding right after and didn't get it either, but like you said I got the end result of a happy, healthy baby. Sounds like you are doing very well and I am so happy for you! Honestly, I cried for about 3 weeks every time I talked or wrote about Ryan's birth because it was so emotional!
Get some rest and kiss that baby for me!

Holy, thanks for sharing such an amazing birth story. I never wrote mine out which I regret cause it would have been nice to look back on it.

aww, you made me cry. You're a great mama. Don't worry about the breast feeding, it sounds like you're doing great. I don't think there is any way around it with out some sort of pain. It will only get easier.
