he is here!!

My little turtle is here!!  He was born on july 26th at 2:12am via csection,, he was 8lbs and 19 1/2 long!   I was induced the 24th and in labor for about 29 hrs!  It was rough for this ftm,  but we endured it!  They had to use anesthesia 4 different times bc I could feel everything before surgery!  The spinal one was the worst but I was coming off it within 2 hrs of surgery. We are adapting and right now I have tons of help!  Im not producing a lot of milk yet, so I'm supplementing bc he can eat almost 3ozs already and he is only 5days old. I'm still sore and a bit swollen but today I already feel a lot better!  Hope u ladies are enjoying every moment as I am!

Congrats! How terrible you had to endure all those hours of labour and end up with a c-section! Glad he's here though. Enjoy it..they grow so fast!

Ohh and my dr wouldn't let me go past 41 weeks...therefore the induction.  The csection was because he was facing up and couldn't go through birth canal other than being super scared and nervous..I'm now super happy to be home with him!
