But I just felt this sadness. Of course, the discomfort from a 3rd degree tear and breastfeeding trouble didn't help.

Anyways, I'm so happy you got your "redemption birth."

Oh, and a word of advice (do with it what you will). Earth Mama Bottom Balm is absolutely fabulous on those sutures once they get to the itchy phase (about a week Post Partum).

I'll have to look into that. I wonder where I can pick some up. I remember the itch after my epi and it was brutal!

Just reading your update makes me all teary eyed. I'm so proud of you and so happy for you Alison! You were such a trooper through all the "teaser" labor. Can't wait to hear your full birth story. I'm glad you're healing well!

Congratulations! I'm so glad you got the birth you wanted (approximately)!

I'm super glad things are going well!

I'm so happy for you getting your natural birth! Glad your recovery and BFing is all going well too.

I'm still writing my birth story, so until it's done, here's a picture of my sweet Nathan to hold you off:

Oh my goodness. Look at that chin!! Aaaaaaaaah! I want one!

Happy 1 week, Nathan!

So precious. I hope things are going well.
