Introducing myself

earlysun

Hi everyone!

I'm so excited to be here. I had a pretty good pregnancy, until the end. I ended up with polyhydramnios, GD and DS had macrosomia. I was so huge that I was just...miserable. Everything took a concerted effort.

We had a c-section scheduled for December 9 but our little Noah had other plans. He was born on 11/26/11 (exactly 37 weeks) at 5:34 AM via c-section. He weighed 9 lbs 14 oz and was 21 inches long with a head full of brown hair!

We left the hospital on Monday, and our lives have completely changed. DH took the week off to be with me and neither of us has gotten more than 3 hours of sleep at a time. I'm recovering from what I understand was a pretty rough c-section as well, so that's added to everything.

Noah has no routine yet, and my milk just came in last night. I'm grateful for a few minutes of peace to check in here. Now I have to remember how to change my ticker in this sleep-deprived haze...

I'm sure it will get better, and I look forward to getting to know you all.
