He was born october 23rd at 6:49pm
, 8 lb 10 oz, 19.5 in long. 14 hour first labor at a home birth in someone elses home. We are both healthy and doing great even though he inhaled a little meconium and i have a 1.5 degree tear (that feels like it will never go away). Will post my birth story later.
On another topic i have to vent a little bit because i am so surprised by my mom. She drove 14 hours yesterday to stay and "help" for two weeks and we were all excited but when she got here i asked her if she would change shirts and wash her hands before she held him since she smokes(very politely), and she left. She said we were judging her, disrespecting her, that we were ridiculous and crazy, and were we never going to take him anywhere because exhaust is bad too. She actually took all her stuff back to the car and drove the 14 hours home! I guess thats better than staying here and stressing us out. I'm kind of glad that i don't have to worry about the smoke issue now, since i am highly sensitive to it(makes me feel sick like i have a cold) and i would worry about the baby. I just really didn't expect for her to feel that way i guess.
thanks for reading!
