labor experience?
phenomenal...beginning to end. the marcaine epidural worked like a charm. i didn't feel groggy or drugged like iv pain medicine makes you feel. i still had control of my legs & was able to participate in the labor process by holding & pulling my own legs.
i was blessed to have one of my support people as my RN as well. shellie & philip were INCREDIBLE. my regular OB was on call that night & I had prayed he'd be the one to deliver addison.
how do you feel?
i feel fantastic. i was up walking around the labor & delivery unit as soon as my epidural wore off & have been since. i have only taken ibuprofen for pain since immediately after delivery. i feel rested, relaxed....i feel complete.
how much weight did you lose after birth?
15 lbs as of 9/4/11
how much weight did you gain during pregnancy?
close to 25 lbs
are you breast feeding?
yes thanks to addison & a fabulous latch. thankfully her 1st latch was correct & this has been smooth sailing
how is addison sleeping?
GREAT! another thing we have been blessed with since day 1. she wakes up to eat every 3-4 hours
how is hampton adjusting?
he loves her (we think). he sniffs her and lays at our feet while we are holding her. he doesn't bark when she cries & gets protective when other people hold her.
where is she sleeping & what is she sleeping in?
right now she is sleeping in a pack & play in our room at night & in her crib during the day to ease with transition.
how long is your maternity leave?
12 weeks
