…are all around these days. The trees are awash in colour and the crunch of leaves is loud under my feet. I love this time of year, before it gets cold and rainy, while everything is fresh and crisp.
Hard to believe it’s been so long since my last post. All is well. Our baby girl arrived safe and sound, if a bit late. Some day I hope to write about the labour and delivery but in short, it went nothing like we’d hoped. I did 13 hours of undmedicated labour before I took the gas. The epidural followed about 5 hours later when things didn’t progress and I ended up with a c-section. All worth it for such a beautiful, amazing little girl. We named her after my Mom.
The first week as parents was crazy, breast feeding was so hard at the beginning (but all good now) and it’s been such a big change and transition in good and bad/hard ways. Wouldn’t trade it for anything though. Hard to believe it’s only a few months before I’m back at work again, I don’t even want to think about it.
Must get back to work, I’m doing some from home each night right now, but wanted to put something here until I have time for more. We are busy, we are well, we are blessed and still in awe of how much we love that little girl.
