Some details left out, they turned off my epi to help me push, so I had 4 hours of unmedicated labor that I had not prepared for. The dr had me doing all kind of stuff, pulling on bars, squatting, she made me look in the mirror, and used stirrups at the end. I tore three places, first, second, and third degree tears! Nursing has been tricky, she won't latch without a shield, the nurse says she is being lazy. Maybe when my milk comes in things will change.

I am so in love with my husband. He has been so great with everything. He had zero experience with babies, but he is doing great! He wrote that blog post and it made me cry like a baby.
