she's here...

Oh dear. I am sorry that you are having such a hard time. I wonder if
you have someone that can watch baby Emily (I too love her name) so
that you can baby yourself a little. Some rest time will help some.
Then maybe try and have a quiet time just the two of you, those little
eyes on yours. I tell my girl always that I knew she was the center of
my heart when I look inside her eyes and I saw I was in there.

Sending you good thoughts so that you can recover real soon.

Big Hugs
Kath

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

What a perfect arrival for the holidays!

And I'm just too tired to tell much of a story, except to say that Emily
arrived ON her due date, the 11th, weighing 7lbs 7oz. Delivered with help
from IV pain meds as well as an epidural. She came out with 2 pushes!

I'm exhausted. I have hemmorhoid thrombosis, which may require surgery,
in addition to a 2nd degree tear, which required a surgeon to stitch
because of such rough edges. Also had to have additional skin tags
removed internally, with more stitches. Couldn't pee for 3 days after
delivery, so have been hooked up to a foley catheter - yuck. Came home
from the hospital weighing a few lbs MORE than when I went in, due to
pitting edema. My nipples are already cracked and bleeding, and I've
already caved and pumped and bottle fed...

Tell me again why I was in such a hurry to have a baby?

Oh, shes gorgeous, and sleeps alot, and is one of the most wonderful
things to happen in my life. But not without a price!

Betsy

Congratulations, Betsy! Welcome, Emily. :-)

I am so sorry about all your unpleasantries and pain. I do hope you
start to feel better soon. Take care.

So sorry that you have so many ouchies right now. I hope all the
ouchies get better quick. Dermoplast anesthetic spray can really help
with the pain from tearing. Congrats on your new dd.

I LOVE Dermoplast! And ice, and ibuprofen, and, and...lol! I'm doing much
better today!-
