Postpartum "stuff"                                                                                                                     Jan 30 '13

             After giving birth to my precious one (her name is Zoe!) I decided that i need to

 really start working on my levels of patience. And speaking of patience... Healing was such

 a long and frustrating process that took a lot of patience out of impatient me lol. Due

 to having an emergency Cesarean section (after 40 minutes of pushing!) my body

 took a longer time to overcome all the trauma and stress that was put on it. Had

 I known that I would not be able to deliver naturally i would have asked for pain 

meds wayyyy earlier! Instead I suffered the longest 6 hours of hard labor with

 irregular contractions which were anywhere from 2-7 minutes apart. It was

 horrid  When they say "there's no pain like childbirth".........  THERE IS

 NO PAIN LIKE CHILDBIRTH!!! But while the all the pain and suffering

 was great the "reward" was greater! Hearing that first scream.... doctor confirming 

that it is a girl indeed..... nurse tell me that she looks so healthy and her APGAR

 score is 9 out of 10... And then finally that special moment of a mother holding

 her child for the first time ever! It was like i woke up in heaven! Oh I loved it all!

 I just wanted to stop the time, grasp the moment and never let it go. I mean, the

 amount of love a mother has in her heart when she meets her child for the fist

 time is beyond measurable and it only multiplies as time goes on!

(btw I'm very new to blogging world! so any comments/advice/grammar/suggestions are very welcomed!)

I breastfed for almost 5 months! It was definitely hard to adjust but I Loved it!!
