    hi everyone! haha. I guess Mel has beat me to the punch. I did have my baby on Jan 18th @ 4:15am. it was a 9 hour labor and the contractions were not fun at all. I actually thought the whole delivering was the easiest. :D

    My little Chloe Sequoia is here.I am sorry for my lack of posting, but I know you all understand the first few days of being a mom is going back and forth between feeding and changing and resting in the midst of everything. :p

    I ended up having a episotomy which sucks, but oh well, what can you do? But bringing her into the world is the BEST feeling EVER! My boyfriend and I are escatic w/our new arrival. She has made our life even brighter than it ever was :D

    Here is some pics of my little one :)

    Well, I thought you'd never ask.

    Never ask a parent to show you pictures of their kids...because they won't hesistate. :D;)

    Just getting in the water...once he's in, he's ok. That was his first one, so he was a little freaked out.

    One of our best friends just had a baby boy (Lachlan Andrew) a few hours ago.

    She has diabetes and was in labour for 72 hours before they finally gave her a caesarean!! Poor thing!

    Episiotemy.
    Is when they have to cut the inner labia/lip to make room for baby to come out.
    Sometimes babies heads will spend forever pushing against that lip.
    So the doctor takes a blade and or scissors and gives a snip back towards the rectum/perineal area.
    Some times its just one snip some times its 2 in a sorta V shape.
    Baby comes through and they sew you back up. Nothing major.
    Most women tear naturally if there isnt enough stretch there. I tore and had a stitch.
    Sometimes the stitches can be agravating and itchy. I never noticed mine.
    But it wasnt much of a tear and the midwife asked if I wanted her to stitch it.
    She said I didnt have to. But we waited on it and then she checked again and then gave me some freezing. I held my Doulas hand cause it was tender and a bit swollen down there. But it never caused me a bit of worry. So dont be afraid of it if you need one.

    Thanks guys! :D

    i'm feeling good. Just a tad tired and getting used to 'Chloe Schedule' :p Chloe weighed in at 7lbs 5 oz and her length: 20 inches.

    oh I definitely got a lot of support from the nurses and the midwife there at the hospital and not to mention my sweetie, who stood right by me even though he was tired himself. It was too cute, whenever I didn't have a contraction, he would lie down and take a little nap and when I tell the nurses i'm having another contraction he would immediately get up and hold my hand. :) He was a GREAT supporter. He cried when she was finally born, I couldn't cry b/c I had spent all my tears w/my contractions. I know he was SO happy!

    My epitosmy was natural. they didn't have to cut it, it just tore. They said it was a first degree. It hurt when they stiched and I had NO idea what they were doing, like the midwife didn't tell me what she was doing. (my orginal midwife had a personal emergency since her husband was going to have surgery later that day) I didn't use an epidural, which I thought I would want, but i didn't. Which was good! :D I actually thought the contractions were more painful then the actual birth. with her, I just pushed and out she came. :) The only drugs I had was for contractions but that didn't even help at all...it just made me loopy and incoherent. :/



    PBM, little X looks TOO cute! btw, i also have the same bath tub too! :D
