Recovery Sucks!!!

There are not many pictures of recovery cause it sucked!!! I was completely unaware how miserable I was going to be for the first week and 1/2. I thought that the Labor part was the hardest but for me it was the recovery that was.

This is my first attempt at nursing Madalyn which ended up being bad. I had forgotten from the class that when pulling a baby off the breast you must detach them first. Well..... Not this time I just pulled her off which ended in bloody,cracked, and bruised nipples. I then could not relatch her and had to pump and bottle feed for 16 hours. Luckily she took to breast feeding after that. And since then its gotten a lot better. We are still learning, but its only been 2 weeks and we are doing pretty good.

Nap time in the Mother baby unit.

Finally, home sweet home!
