Mom and baby Megan are home and doing well now. We are learning how to be parents of FIVE kids (every seat in our van is now occupied-Yikes!). Richard is able to be home for a few weeks and stays very busy taking care of everyone. The kids are all so in love with Megan and want to hold her any chance they get. Jonny is being soft with her (most of the time) but doesn't like sharing mommy very much.
Labor and delivery...don't worry, I won't go into detail here...was painful! Let's just say the epidural didn't do what it was supposed to do. I feel like I can count myself among those women who go through natural childbirth, even though I fully intended to NOT go through that much pain. Ever. However, by some miracle, I survived. Dr. Tutt was awesome and helped Megan turn the right way. We are just so glad that part is over and we have a wonderful, healthy, beautiful little girl.
Thank you all for your love and support, calls, texts, posts on facebook, visits, etc. It means so much to me!
Congratulations on another beautiful member of the family!
ReplyDeletecongrats carolyn! megan is a doll! what fun for you and your family! i glad u survived and i wish you and your family the best :)
ReplyDeleteAw she is absolutley beautiful! Carolyn you look fantastic! I think it would be difficult to have the expectation that the epidural to work and then have it not. That makes things 5 times worse than when you know! I too, am not those al natural birthing ladies. I was upset I had to wait 6 hours before my epidural with Gabi. I had the expectation that I could get it anytime I wanted... hmm. ya right! I am glad she is here and healthy!! Love you.
