The birth went amazingly. Hadley was born at home at 4:06AM on March 25 (what is it with babies wanting to come in the middle of the night?!?). The birth was fast, taking only 2 hours and 50 minutes. The contractions were intense but somehow I stayed relaxed and in my element. Kevin did a great job of encouraging me and supporting me. We are so thankful to have had another home birth where we could relax and enjoy our family afterwards. Ayda adjusted beautifully to her new sister arriving. I really feel like some of that is because mommy and daddy never went anywhere. I put Ayda to bed Thursday night, she woke up Friday morning and sister had arrived, and I was there for bed time Friday night. Her routine didn't change a whole lot. We also didn't have any visitors all weekend. Just family that was at the house anyway and us. It was wonderful!
Since Hadley was born 7 weeks ago life is resuming as it should. I feel more confident going places with both girls. I have healed well. Our new routine is in place and we are doing great. Hadley sleeps great at night, only getting up once to eat. She is a happy baby that is quite content. I love having two little girls!
I'm also looking to change this blog up a bit. I want to be better about posting information for my students and also anyone interested in reading. Toes might get stepped on but just know I am not judging anyone. My thoughts about pretty much anything is if you do research and educate yourself before making the decision you do, then great. I get frustrated when people just do what their doctor says without question. Share your thoughts, feelings, disagreements, etc. I love hearing different sides of the story and learning new information!
So here goes...
