Sigh. <br /><br />But then I saw this and CONGRATS!!!<br />A wise woman told me, the thing you want to bring home is a baby, not an award [for how you did it]. It helped me come to peace with having the epidural after putting up with 30 hours of labor trying to go all natural. <br /><br />So, congrats, you brought home a baby (finally :-D) and he's adorable. I hope you're surviving these first days and enjoying and taking pictures like crazy :)Lindsayhttp://www.facebook.com/lindsaymdrehernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397152151919270495.post-54549551027824175392011-03-03T11:26:37.645-06:002011-03-03T11:26:37.645-06:00Congratulations!

Regardless, how your little guy arrived (c-section or natural), its wonderful that he is home and healthy :)<br /><br />I had a similar experience with my son. they tried to induce me with no luck, I was in labor for almost 3 days. They noticed my son's vitals begin to drop so they had to do an emergency c-section. His cord had been pinched. He had to spend some time in NICU, hooked up to a bunch of machines. He couldn't pee, breathe or eat on his own. It was absolutely heartbreaking. But, eventually he came home. and 6 years later he is a happy, healthy boy!Zombie Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04527649984970119037noreply@blogger.com
