Hey guys :)

I just wanted to thank you all for the responses to my birth story. i haven't had time to respond but thanks to all of you. and to those first time moms to be i hope i didn't scare you!! however i'm still not wanting to have anymore kids. haha. maybe in a year when i fully get over it. but to be honest if i have another i'll have to go the epidural route. even though my birth was completely natural and beautiful and everything i ever wanted, and i handled most of it really well (just those last pesky contractions), i just don't think i could handle those last contractions again. but who knows.

benji is a month and its been the hardest month of my life! finally things are more normal. the first weeks seemed like an eternity. but once we started him on formula things got a lot better. we're still not sleeping but he's a good boy.

we had a rough weekend bc he got circumcised. that was hard for me to see him in pain. he didn't sleep at all on sat. poor thing. good news is he's much better now. back to his old self. tomorrow we see the pediatrician to see how much he weighs. he's still a little guy. his NB clothes are still loose on him. but he's def filled out. he looks healthy and he drinks 2-5 oz at each feeding. so he is def getting fed. here's some pics. enjoy! :)

Hang in there!! I had nightmares about my labor and delivery with my first for weeks after birth (in labor for 2 1/2 days then c-section) but I had another one 2 yrs later and am now pregnant with number 3.

Newborns can be so hard, it will keep getting better!!

So sweet, that little smile is precious! You are very brave for going all natural I totally respect you for that. My first daughter was an emergency c-section and I'm looking forward to this c-section #2 for the birth of my twins. . . I am absolutely no good with pain at all whatsoever not even in the slightest little bit. . .lol. I hope you and Benji both continue to grow stronger every day =0)
