Aidan came on Valentine's Day!!!  

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 
Aidan Robert was born 2-14-08. The day after his EDD.
He weighed 8lbs. 7oz, and was 21inches long.

It's taken me a week to get time and energy to get back here! Our birth story is on our blog (in siggy) and pictures can be found here.

It wasn't exactly the birthing center birth I had hoped for, but all said and done, it was natural and he is a healthy beautiful baby. I ended up with an almost-3rd degree tear and when the doctor was finally done stitching me up, the nurse said, "Well, you have lips again!" (I left that out of the blog for my family's sake).

He is nursing really well and loves sleeping with mommy and daddy!

congrats! i'm sorry it was so rough for you! Be very sure to rest rest rest!! getting your self healed is your second priority (obviously baby is first!). You really need to stay down and do as little as posible, it will pay off and you'll be back to yourself much more quickly. try to do some soaks in the tub to assist healing of your tears. some comfry and baking soda would be good. there are lots of other things too. i had a bad tear with dd and didn't take the advise i just gave and certainly paid for it. take care of yourself! and CONGRATS!!

He's lovely. I'm sorry, my computer isn't letting me read your (his?) story right now, but it sounds like a bit of an adventure?

ooooh Anjanettopal - I'm sooo sorry to hear about the painful tear. Luckily they were able to sew you up okay and I hope you heal fast.

Your baby is GORGEOUS! I love the pic of (DH?) with the sub giving some perspective on his size, it looks like something my DH would do .

Continue to rest up and enjoy baby mooning!
