I just updated another post about Callie :)

As for me, I am recovering fairly well. I tore badly because Lilah had a nuchal hand so while I got her head out without a SINGLE tear having that fist up by her shoulders gave me a nice third degree tear to heal from, and it's been quite the opposite of fun. The pain has subsided but it still feels like everything is just bulging really uncomfortably and swollen - my entire pelvic floor feels a bit weak so I am thinking lots of kegels are in my future.

I'll be updating MY blog soon with her full birth story and my post partum progress but as of right now we're really doing great. I'm already 18 pounds under my prepregnancy weight - I gained next to nothing and apparently LOST a ton in the second and third trimester! Breastfeeding is going pretty well but Lilah sleeps so long at night it's not doing wonders for my supply (which is iffy to begin with, just like it was with Callie). I don't want to wake her to feed her and she cluster feeds every hour or two during the day when she's awake so SHE'S getting enough, I just hope it's enough to keep my supply up overall without adding in night feedings.

We'll see.

As I am typing this you two are in Anchorage. We're trying to find your cell number to give you a call and see if we can get together for an hour or two while you're here and I hope to tell you ALL about this (and meet Hannah for the first time!) in person. But if I miss you I'll be typing up more about this later :)
