My birth story and pics (finally!)
Congrats Melli! He is beautiful! I've been waiting to see your post :)
Good for you for using formula as needed to keep your baby getting the calories he needs. My baby is primarily formula fed as well due to issues with my non existent supply, and he's doing fantastic on that and some donor milk from a close friend of mine. I hope you are able to work things out to your liking as you heal.
And for the record, you are crazy amazing for going through all that labor/delivery natural and it does sound traumatizing! There is no rule that you couldn't choose a different plan if you end up having another baby in the future ;)
Enjoy that adorable baby as much as you can! They grow up insanely fast!

I was so excited to see your birthing story on here. I have been patiently waiting. LOL Girl you have a big set of balls. I loved reading your story. There is nothing wrong with supplementing Benji with formula. You have to do what is best for him and you are. I am all about breast feeding now and sometimes things don't work how we want it to. That was awesome to see your husband in the tub with you. Very supportive.... I hope you are getting along okay. I have been thinking about you a lot

Congratulations. He is so adorable. I applaud and commend you for doing it natural. I have never given birth and thought I wanted to go natural If I ever conceived. I know it would be hard just as you described but just hearing the story scares me a little. But anyhow the worst is over and you are now able to enjoy your wonderful bundle of joy. I love his birthday that is so cool.
