My friends.
When I wrote that post on Tuesday night, fraught with feeling so much all at once, you were there. You left comments and texted me and wrote emails and DM’s on twitter. You said you’d pray, that you were sorry, that this was miserable. You offered to bring meals, run errands, snuggle baby Sam, even offered frozen breastmilk because you knew I had to use all of my tiny stash. You supported me and held me up and I felt it. I am so appreciative and blessed.
Thank you.
Surgery went smoothly. Sam woke up to nurse right before we had to leave, the little darling. We were at the hospital at the crack of dawn, smiling as we recalled the last time we walked through those doors was when I was in labor. My doctor was able to get all the granulation and scar tissue. I’ll go back in two weeks, and the stitches should have dissolved by then. Hopefully that will be my last visit to my OB for a year. I really like her, but I wouldn’t mind not seeing her for a while.
In my not able to do anything-ness, I started reading a book
When this is all over, I’m throwing my body an awards banquet.

So Glad to hear everything went great honey. Hope your sore body gets back to normal very fast One of these days when you are in the PR area we should have a playdate with all the area bible camp babies. thinking it would be a great time.
I’m so glad to hear it went well. Please let me know if you need anything at all ok??
Thanks Jo – I will =)
Oh girl – I’m sorry that I missed that post. I’m sorry that I missed how much pain you are in. I’m so glad the surgery went well and I trust that you are home with your men and resting comfortably {well, as comfortably as you can}. I’ll be praying for you and your body and your healing – and that you can bond with your little boy and love on your man.
PS – totally had issues with my babies as well. Not quite like this – but enough that I can relate to you. It DOES get better!
Thank you for the prayers, friend – I truly feel them!! Thanks, too, for that encouragement. It HAS to get better =)
I never got the chance to write earlier, but you were on my mind day all day. Rest up Mama…i pray your pain is HISTORY and you get that break from seeing your OB 🙂
Thank you for the kind thoughts – I sure appreciate them!!

wow… you have certainly gone through so much… hope you realize this is not normal for ‘natural birth’ process. I have to say, when I had my son ‘normally’ it was very painful, when I had my daughter via C section it was painful too but in a very different way. At least I could sit.
Thank you. It’s so hard because it doesn’t feel normal, but it’s all I know now. So I’m a tad nervous and thinking that Sam would be ok as an only child! =)
Sitting will be welcome – hopefully soon!! =)
Ohhh Anna I’m praying for a double-portion of r-e-l-i-e-f and healing!!
p.s. I’m one of the 10% who doesn’t produce milk so I couldn’t nurse:(
I so thank you for the prayers! Sorry about nursing. I feel so blessed that it’s gone so smoothly for me. But in the midst of all the other crud, I think if nursing hadn’t gone well I might have just lost it =)
Glad to hear things are going well.
Thanks friend – I loved seeing you =)
So glad to hear everything went smoothly…side-nursing is kind of the best anyway. You can sleep through it! 🙂 Sending you a big ol’ virtual hug.
