shweetpea asked: “Ugh I'm just getting the chance to really catch up with people on tumblr so of course I'm going through your page so stalk you & Wendy, lol. She is SO beautiful oh my goodness! & your birth story made me tear up & brought back memories of my own. I need to write mine up when I get the chance. I'm so happy for you! I read you got stitches, how bad was your tear? I'm having such a hard time with recovery :( I have a 3rd degree tear & everytime my vicodin wears off I can barely move!”

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply! It’s amazing how much attention one little baby needs! Hehe. 

Thank you so much! I still can’t stop looking at her sweet little face! I’ve been stalking too and Mason is just such a precious boy. Man, I wish so much that we could have a baby play date! It would be cuteness overload. Haha.

I read your birth story too and started to cry. Isn’t birth amazing? In a painful, awful sort of way… but amazing all the same. I’m so so sorry that your epidural wore off. I was so afraid that was going to happen to me. I didn’t get the epi until 7cm and I was just terrified to go back to the pain. And I did tear but to be honest I really don’t know how bad it was. I asked my doctor (who was being a bit of a grouch) how many stitches he’d given me and he snorted and said “I lost count.” Way to be a jerk, doc. Anyway, regardless of how many I got my recovery really hasn’t been bad. I haven’t even been taking my pain meds for almost a week now. Which leads me to believe that I didn’t tear too terribly. I’m so sorry that you’re having a rough go of it. :( Keep poppin’ those pills!

And yes, I’m breastfeeding! And loving it! She’s so dang good at it! How’s it going for you?
