The Bright Side

I have a flat nipple on one of my boobs. It doesn't work. It doesn't produce milk past the first week, and only the strongest of suckers can get any milk out. Maybe there's something else sturctuarlly wrong with it, but I wouldn't know. On the bright side, when I go in to get my boob job after I'm done having kids, I'll have a perfect example of what I want to get back to. AND it'll cost me half as much because it's just the one side that will have to be done!

I had to have a C-section (what was it 3 weeks ago??) with the baby. I was really disappointed not to be able to deliver vaginally. I had to stay in the hospital for 3 days longer than I would have liked. And now I have NO stomach muscles (happens when they pull them apart to get at your uterus), and a scar along my lower abdomen. On the bright side, the afterpains weren't bad at all this time. I was on morphine for the pain from surgery, and man did it help with the cramping while you nurse. AND I won't have to wait until my due date to deliver with my next child, it will just be another scheduled C-section! No more wondering when the next baby will come. I'll have a solid date within the first three months. (No I'm not going to try a VBAC, there's just too many risks, and overall the c-section experience wasn't that bad!)

I had both of my children via c section, though they were twelve years a part, the first one I went through days of labor, and a good thirty hours in the hospital of pushing labor (yes, my doc was a moron, and so was i, being all of 19 or so) But, my baby.. he was born just three years ago, and was more of a planned one, and it was FABULOUS.

can't beleive the difference.

there is much to be said, by having a concrete date!

Oh happy day for your new one! Congrats
