Zachary Michael was born April 18th at 8:03 am. Daddy was able to be there for the birth. Unfortunately I had to have another c-section (long story but at least I was allowed to try to have a v-bac but I didn't really get the time I needed to dilate). Let me tell you the 3rd c-section is much more difficult than #1 and #2. With that being said we are trying to request DH to stay an extra week on R&R because I'm having so much difficulty with moving and am not supposed to drive for 2 weeks. If he gets the extra week I'll be right at 2 weeks post surgery. I know that it is highly unlikely that it will be approved, but I feel like if we don't ask than we have no chance. It's up to the command down range, not rear D. Rear D would give it to him in a heartbeat, but depending on what's going on down range will depend on if he'll get the time.
I honestly do not know how I am going to recover enough in a week to take care of 4 kids and recover from a c-section. We don't have great support around here, and I'm not great about asking for help either.
We're all exhausted, but hopefully we can figure this out.

I'll post pictures once I get them from the other computer.

Congrats! If he is unable to stay I highly recommend you put your pride aside and get some help. You will need it to recover for yourself!!! Hopefully you have a quick healing time!!!

Congratulations!! I truly hope the military will pull its head out of its a** and realize that you NEED him there. They aren't the greatest about that, though. T&Ps and fast recovery vibes!
