Lila was 8 pounds, 20 in long and born with lots of hair! Hubs and my mom were in the delivery room. I was hesitant about having my mom in there because she's a Labor and Delivery Nurse, so I assumed she would take over and become the "nurse" rather than be my "mom". But all went well, and Won and I were actually glad she was in the room with us. BTW, I got the epidural! After my doc manually broke my water, my contractions became twice as strong. I'm weak sauce!!
Motherhood is awesome in every way. It's definitely draining and extremely hard the first few days, but it's true when mommies say it gets easier as time progresses. She sleeps well at night and wakes up for her feedings without crying too much. The only thing is she falls asleep in my arms when I feed her! We get a wet towel and brush it on her ear/neck, do a fake change of a diaper, undress her, etc...it gets to be tiring because night feedings will take me almost 45 minutes! Day time is pretty low key. When she's awake, I'll put her in the bouncer or I've started doing tummy time.
We are moving in 2 days! Good-bye Valley, Hello OC!
