*Blogger is being STUPID and won't let me upload pictures. They will come, I promise!*
Now that I have my bearings a little bit, I'm going to try to fill you all in on all the details! I'm going to break it down into several posts, because I'm a littttle bit busy these days!
I never thought I would progress as quickly as I did, especially with Noah being my first baby! I truly think that the reason everything went so smoothly was because I was already in very early labor...or at the very least I would have gone into labor within a day or so. The whole labor/delivery was MUCH easier than I thought it would be-NOT that it was easy by any means! But I've heard so many horror stories that I really psyched myself out!
I pushed about 50 minutes. It seemed like only 15 minutes! I started tearing so my doctor gave me an episiotomy....and then I tore some more. It ended up being a 3rd degree tear/episiotomy and I got four stitches. I didn't feel a thing! The only thing that really hurt was my nurse 'massaging' my tummy after I delivered the placenta. I almost came up OFF the bed!
Noah needed to stay under the warmer a lot at first. He was always just shy of being the right temperature. But he got over that quickly. I nursed him soon after he was born. At first he didn't really understand what to do, but he caught on pretty quickly!
That's about all I have time for. More later...right now I have to go feed the cutest little person I've ever seen! I LOVE being a Mom!

Awwww, I am so happy for you!!! I hate that you had to have an episiotomy... hopefully you will make a quick recovery!
He is precious! I am so happy for all of yall :) LOVE YALL!!!
Sounds like you had a great labor. Your labor so far sounds identical to mine. My entire labor from the start of the Pitocin to my last push was 8 hours and I pushed for 55 minutes. Hope you and Noah are doing well! Take care!
CONGRATULATIONS!! Noah is a doll!!
