No Induction Needed :)

Baby Michael Jude was born last Monday 24 November at 8:16 after 36 hours of
labor and three excruciating hours of pushing. We brought him home on
Thanksgiving Day.

NOTHING was how I envisioned it would be (IV drugs, forceps delivery, 38 fever
during labor which necessitated NICU for my son as a precautionary measure
...) and re-coop has been extremely difficult (very painful third degree
tear, lots of blood loss,anemia) but.....I AM A MAMA to a healthy baby boy and
I have no complaints (except for the fact that they pushed Similac down his
throat in the NICU when I couldn't see him for the first 48 hours due to my
fever and now he's a reluctant breastfeeder which we are patiently sorting out)

More details to follow when I can sit long enough to write

You guys have all been so helpful throughout my pregancy. I don't know what
I'd have done without you

Love,
Lisa

Congratulations! It sounds like you have a great attitude after a difficult
delivery. Best wishes for healing and bonding and smooth breast feeding.

Congratulations and welcome baby Michael. I hope you feel better soon. I
can imagine how painful your tear must be, coz I had one too. Take good
care of yourself and good luck on the BFing!
