It's been almost 3 weeks

He's so beautiful.
He's healthy.
He looks so much like his older brother.
They're almost like twins! It's crazy.
People keep telling us, "It's because they're close in age."
Maybe I just make beautiful children!
Ha! This surgery was different because he was breeched. It was intense. I didn't jump when they put the epidural in. That's what I was mostly afraid of. But the pressure of the doctors pushing and pulling was crazy. They were tugging and I was moving from left to right. It may sound over dramatic but when I tell you that it was even a bit hard to breathe, I'm serious. Other women can say, "Oh, it wasn't that bad for me." Ask them how long it's been since they're surgery? Because mine was less than a month ago...
Recovery was pretty much the same for me. We were there for a total of 48 hours. My friend who had a regular C-section was there for 72 hours. So I'm thinking I was a trooper. I tried not to complain a lot. But I still made it known when I was in pain. I just hate those pads though. Ugh. I was so glad to use my own. But the ugly underwear was a lot easier to use than my own.
Preparing ourselves for the stay felt like it took us forever. Thank god for me making a list. Did the hubby follow it? Of course not... But he can't blame me. My mother was awesome enough to take care of big brother for me.
Speaking about big brother; He is such an awesome helper. He LOVES his brother. So much. It's ADORABLE. He helps with feedings, diaper changes. He wants to give him kisses and hold him. The cutest thing was when the nurses brought little brother into the room. Big brother went "Mine!" He even got to hold him that same night.

Ok so that's enough about that experience for one post. WARNING: There will be more.
Much love,

Yeah I know...

I haven't been on in a while...

The last couple of months, both my hands but mainly my right, have been swelling up a lot! I thought I wasn't drinking enough water, raise my hand above my head. I even had to stop wearing my wedding ring! I spoke to my doctor... Carpal Tunnel :(
GAH! WHY ME! I didn't know it hurts so much!
I can't open anything. I can't pick my child and hold him correctly. GRR!
I'm angry. But she did tell me that the symptoms might get less after I have the baby. I hope so. I really do.
We ended up purchasing one of those wrist bands with the metal thing to keep it still when I wear it. It makes it feel SO good!
Aside from that; It's been one week since my baby shower. And I'm ready for this baby to come out. And he will in two weeks from Tuesday!
So happy! I really can't wait. I wish it was sooner. I can't wait for my son to have his brother! His partner in crime! His side kick! It probably sounds like I'm more excited for my son to have a little bro to boss around lol. But I'm just so happy!

I'll keep you posted!
Much love,
