One year ago today

I was readmitted to the hospital for complications resulting in DS' delivery/c-section.  He was 12 days old.  I was devastated and DD was inconsolable.  I think I cried for the entire 3 days I was there and couldn't even barely talk to DD on the phone because I'd lose it.  DH was an emotional mess, not to mention completely sleep deprived having to manage the kids on his own.  Ugh.  Not fun memories.  I pray every day that this time around goes better.  As I get closer and closer, I get more and more freaked out about the hospital/recovery part of everything.  

Not sure why I posted this. Just on my mind today. And because even with all of the not so pleasant parts of DS birth and recovery, let me share a picture we got this weekend that reminds me he is worth all of it.

*hugs*  I think about this time last year I was suffering from PPA.  I have come a long way though, and although P's delivery was awful and the few months after his birth were torture, I know it was allllll worth it .  I hope your next experience is so much better!

I too was readmitted to the hospital 3 weeks postpartum for C-section issues. It was the longest 4 days of my life! I hope things go better for you this time around.

That pic is too cute! Hate that some of us have horrible memories of early mommyhood but it is what it is and look at what we have today because of it!

Thanks, ladies.  I know that I am definitely blessed and there are women who go through much more than I did.  Having healthy children is worth it all!!

GL on your upcoming delivery. I hope that it goes really smoothly this time and you don't have to worry about anything (except 3 children ).

Haha!  Exactly!  Thanks, Crystal.
