Her birth didn't go according to plan. After 10 hours of labor, she turned face up, causing her to become wedged between my pelvic bone and ribs. I pushed for 3 hours with no luck. We ended up having a c-section. 4 days in the hospital caused me to go a little crazy. I think Mark may have lost it as well
I never want to spend that long in a hospital again.
Mark spent the week balancing visiting Alice and Me, and taking care of Claire and Ella. I think he did amazing. The girls were happy, fed, dressed and well loved.
Claire loves Alice. Ella is a little more aloof, but is warming up. Alice spends her day sleeping, eating and pooping. Sometimes all at once.
Welcome to the family little Alice.
I just love her! I can't wait for our babies to meet. So sorry to hear the birth didn't go according to plan. I hope you're recovering quickly. Although I'm sure our experiences were very different, my birthing experience was pretty sucky too :) Hope you're getting good rest!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! She is just Beautiful. Sorry to hear things didn't go so well. Hope everything is going well now.
