I’m sorry for the delay ladies. I need to get the bump app installed on my phone so I can catch up with all I’ve missed this last week during feedings. I hope everyone is doing well!
Short version:
Our son arrived on 5/28, at 41 weeks, 1 day. He weighed 10 pounds, 13 ounces and was 22 and a ¼ inches long. I was able to have the natural childbirth that I hoped for and I know that our Bradley training, our awesome doula, DH’s great coaching and a supportive medical staff all contributed to that. I had second degree tearing, but recovery has gone well. He is eating well and we just love him so much.

<:-P
Can't wait to read the whole story. Almost 11 pounds and a natural birth? That is something to be proud of.
Hope you are getting some rest and recovering well.
ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive. Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)

PS 1: I'm glad I'm not the only one who sometimes has trouble with photos! Thank you!
PS 2: if its a pain to load the app just the bump website in a browser works on my (puny) android non-phone phone for reading &writing while BFing. Though maybe the app also lets you do things like fix siggy? I don't know.
January PAL siggie challenge; Good advice:
I'll continue to check in on you all - I hope everyone is doing well.
