We need a baby icon thing. Contrats to Grandma and Grandpa Dreamer. Aunties and Uncles. Congrats to new mommy and daddy. And welcome little Sammy.
Good to hear all is well. I have not been on for a couple days. WOW, sounds like a very long time. in my opinion - Dr's should not let mothers go that long. It is exhausting. You are weak.
I am lucky. Less than an hour with easy child after they broke my water. (didn't hurt up to then)
20 minutes with difficult child. AND I insisted on a epideral. They JUST finished putting it in and they said - let me see. It's time. LOL. I felt absolutely nothing. So they took a plunger thing.
I stayed 4 days with easy child. He was jaundice quite a bit. Back then it was mandatory 3 days anyway. And baby could not be in your room. Nobody could hold baby, only look from behind the glass. Grandma and Grandpa had to wear gowns and get special permission to hold baby. So I couldn't wait to get home and open baby all up, stroke his hair, play with his toes. And my mom came over and made me go directly to bed. Told me I had to rest and she took care of baby, made several meals and washed and steralized bottles. She did this every day for a couple weeks.
Enjoy.
