Our QED.
In other words, it's Latin for "I win, idiots."
Quentin was born January 19th, 2017 at 4:04 pm. I was in labor for almost 12 hours exactly.
You guys... I did it NATURALLY.
I only stress this because I am so inordinately proud of myself for being able to do this. Having a lived a relatively pain-free life... no surgeries, broken bones, etc., I feel like a pain warrior now. I feel like a warrior in general.

It is one of the most spectacular and hardest things I've ever experienced.

Mainly as an exercise in maintaining my sanity because you guys this newborn phase is batshit insane.

Oh my gosh, I can't believe you didn't have an epidural! And this is hilarious. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my...yes, I bow to you, Warrior Mom! (I had planned natural birth also, but my oldest had other ideas that I won't go into here...)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you and Wade. Yes, the newborn phase is batshit insane...right there with you! Life has its challenges in lots of other ways, but this phase is the one where I truly did not sleep! (Oldest is 23 now. Lots of sleepless/less sleep nights, but not several weeks in a row!)
Looking forward to seeing you post when you can!
