Ahhh, thank you ladies. As if I wasn't feeling exposed and vulnerable already.

True Story. Um---no. I'm a veteran. I gave birth to triplets. Lets just say that nurse never saw the day or night of my vagina again. The End. Your baby is absolutely gorgeous, by the way. I swear as much as I say I am going to bury my hand in the next snow storm, I thank God every day I had the sense to have my tubes tied.

You feed this baby, you wipe it's butt, etc and you feel like you're getting nothing back because they can't return affection, they don't say thank you, and they cry all the time. "just when you're ready to get your refund... they smile." It is worth it. It just doesn't feel like it until after those first two months. Haha. I completely get you.

I posted similar pics on my papa blog yesterday for Wordless Wednesday. Child birth...wow. I have incredible respect for my wife after seeing that happen, twice in one night; twins.

Seriously, this was a good reminder and in a really odd way, made me even more excited to get it over with and welcome our new baby girl. And yes, I know I keep saying we'll hang out/do lunch but it's been a sickness filled winter over here and now I'm just too stressed out with trying to get the room ready for two kids... I'll contact you in late April! :) .-= Rachel´s last blog ..<a href="http://fixfabulous.blogspot.com/2010/02/frog-and-toad-and-nana.html" rel="nofollow">Frog and Toad and Nana</a> =-.

Did lose 2 liters of blood in surgery because of a large uterine fibroid...that caused some pretty bad nausea and tachycardia and the itchy c-section scar was not fun, but when they handed me my angelic little 5 and 1/2 pound perfect little peanut boy, I almost felt guilty for not having a single labor pain. Well, actually I did go into premature labor...at 16 weeks. He is our miracle boy and we can't have any more kids which is the way it is supposed to be and fine by me. Just grateful for the pregnancy experience and having our precious little guy in our lives. .-= OilGirl´s last blog ..<a href="http://oilsforwellness.blogspot.com/2010/03/ucla-study-on-friendship-among-women.html" rel="nofollow">UCLA Study On Friendship Among Women</a> =-.
