I went into the hospital with every intention of delivering naturally, but alas! it was not meant to be. After having to be induced with pitocin (which I REALLY didn’t want) and then attempting to go without pain meds (which I did for 2 hours with only 30 seconds between contractions), AND after pushing for 2 hours, my daughter’s head was slightly tilted and she was just not going to emerge the natural way! So, I had a C-section, but it gave me my beautifu, healthy little girl, so I wouldn’t change a thing. Maybe next time….

Ok, so I cashed in my coin jar, but I didn’t go anywhere…I put it in my newborn daughter’s saving account instead.

1. I’m incredibly blessed to have a new healthy, beautiful baby girl in my life. I thank God for her every day.
2. That although the birth didn’t go as planned (had to have a C-section after trying for hours for a natural delivery), everything turned out for the best.
3. My friends and family for cooking meals and keeping me company while I recover.
4. That Vivi finally has the hang of breast feeding!
5. That I’m losing the weight (slowly, but surely!)
