Hello!

I am just now able to post about my NEW baby! Nina Hadassah was born by c-section on Wednesday, Feb 24. She was 8lbs 0.6 oz and is 20.75 inches tall. She is so dainty! She is doing great with breastfeeding, I however hate latching on! But, I can tell that the latch on pain is subsiding if only slightly. I am recovering well from the c-section, but am still in a lot of pain. My doctor took a little over an hour to do the c-section due to a lot of scaring from my previous c-section. He did a great job and even did a little cosmetic surgery to fix the appearance of my scar line (it was very "rippled" due to skin infections from the 1^st time around). He then put me together again using stitches to see if that will reduce any infections that may have been caused by the staples.

My MIL will be here some time on Monday to help out. My wonderful DH has to go back to work on Monday so we need someone to help me with Joseph and getting dinner ready, etc. I am not ready to do these things on my own yet! Joseph is doing well with Nina, but he is a little upset with me. First, he is not allowed to touch the "nurseries" because they are so sore, but Nina gets to touch them all the time. LOL! I can't sit on the floor to play ball or legos. We have to play at the table so mommy can be comfortable. I know that he will adjust and I promised that as I am able he and I will go to the park together and play.

I have to work on my final for class this week, so I may not be around much if any until after Friday. I will post pictures as soon as I am able.

Take care,
