Last Monday we had our little boy. Two hours of water broke intense labor at a birth center and he is finally here! He was 9lbs 4 oz, 21 inches long and had a 14 1/2 inch head! I did not rip or tear, completely intact! I had a hard week of recovery, every bone in my body hurt. I am finally feeling like myself today. My nipples are on fire!!! Any suggestions, his latch is open and I try to keep his bottom lip pulled down but my nipples still really hurt! Samuel Thomas is doing great, thank goodness for co-sleeping and nursing because we are actually getting sleep. Good luck all you mommas who are waiting for babies, it will be baby time before you know it and then the real work begins!

wish i had some words of wisdom, but i just applied lansinoh after each feeding to guard against chapping and stuck it out...eventually it stopped feeling like a nipple piercing every time.
