13 days late, 24 hours of labor , emergency C-section 4:37am 12/27 Rory Grace arrived :) She is amazing . I am still in the hospital but hope to be going home tomorrow. I will post birth story later. I have not been able to post becasue I was and still am in a lot of pain.
She had some trouble breathing (mucus in the lungs) in the beginning and I did not get to see her for 20 minutes then they had to finish stiching me up. In the recovery room the wonderful nurse (she knew it was important to me to breast feed and really tried ) tried to get her to latch on to my breast but we were both so tired and I could not feel anything . So we got off to a slow start with that . I am breast feeding now and my nipples are so red, dired and cracked. I have lansinoh and am using ice packs but I am dieing here. If anyone has any advice I would love it . Sorry if it is TMI for anyone. Like I said I will write the birth story soon . Maybe with a pint of Guiness tomorrow night :) (FYI Guiness is supposed to be great in bringing in your breast milk so I am doing it for the baby.)
