only a few hours prior to the first photo below, I was standing in our kitchen at home while having contractions 3.5 minutes apart...telling Jacob we should have stayed pregnant longer;)
within 6 hours...pain I couldn't have imagined (and have so quickly forgotten about already!!)...an epidural...and only 6 pushes in 10 minutes (YES...I'm bragging!!!!;)...we welcomed our first child into this world:')
i'm not even sure where to begin...and I can't right now because I need sleep. There has been none of that for 72 hours (and yes...I realize it will be scarce for the next...foreverrrrrr;).
But what I can say...is that my heart hurt before...at the thought of my family and my life with Jacob. And now when I look at our baby...something we did and have yet to mess up and is so incredibly perfect...I know for certain my heart will never recover:)
UP jacob and I between contractions...

ReplyDeleteAHHHHHHH! I'm just bursting with excitement to meet this adorable little guy!!! :) He is SO freakin' cute. Seriously. And I bet you have a lot of haters out there given how "easy" your pregnancy and the birth was. But hey, awesome!
