We actually wanted to do Natalie Rose but my neice's middle name is Rose so we wanted to do something different. Great choice!

Anyways, the c-section started on time and went good. She looked good and has a full head of hair! We have both been doing really good. They wanted to send me home a day early today but we opted to take advantage of being allowed to stay an extra day and we are going home tomorrow hopefully early. I have been feeling great and hardly having to use the pain meds at all. She has lost about 9.5% of her weight, and they don't like to see them loose more than 10% so we're hoping that my milk comes in soon so that she starts gaining some weight back. Breastfeeding does seem to be going really great though so like I said, we're just waiting now for my milk.
My 3 year old is really enjoying coming to visit and holding her, so I'm happy about that. She has been a little grumpy with me, but that's OK, we'll get through it soon I'm sure.
Anyways, I will try to get back on here some more once we get back home and settled but I just wanted to jump on really quick to post while she was getting some cuddle time with daddy!
Can't wait to hear the rest of your birthstories!!!

Ava and I are going to do some last minute shopping at Target tonight after work and I will be getting my hospital bag all packed tonight.
Tomorrow I am doing a walk for JDRF with my work and then spending the day at Carowinds, a local themepark for my work's family fun day. Super excited to have one last fun day with my 3 year old and husband as a family of 3.
Sunday will be spent cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning and a short visit from my FIL & MIL.
Monday I have to go for my pre-op appointments with my OB and the hospital. Have to go get my car's oil changed and then I am treating myself to a mani/pedi! Then my mom arrives that night from Florida.
Tuesday I have to be at the hospital by 6am with my c-section scheduled to start at 7:15am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope everyone has a good weekend, not sure how much I will be able to check in over the next several days, but I will try my best! As you can see the next couple of days will be super busy!View Thread
