Sorry it took so long to get back but i didn't want to come back until i had some time to actually write everything out. Giosue' was born on the 4th of November at 8 am weighing 8 lbs. on the dot!!! The c section was amazing, nothing like what i thought it would be and so different than my first. I can't believe how it felt to see him for the very first time! It was amazing!!!! I had a great recovery but the one thing I was so sure about didn't go at all as planed. He didn't take to breastfeeding. and it broke my heart! he totally tore my breasts apart the fist day. so bad that they were bleeding. he also lost 7% of his weight all the way down to 7 lbs 2 ozs, so we had to bottle feed for awhile, i cried every time i saw dh giving him a bottle. I refused to give up on it, and although i cry from pain every time he has to feed we are only bf to this day! my boobs are healing and it is getting easier though! and his weight is back up! We find out wed at his first app if it is enough to keep the bf up! I can only pray that he has gain the weight! And Sophie is doing great with him, I just can't believe it! she doesn't like others to hold him, only her, Dh, and I are allowed! all in all everything is going great, i am still healing and can't wait till i am 100%. I just can't believe how lucky i am to have such a wonderful beautiful family! I feel so blessed! here are some pics!

right before I stared to get worried and nervous!
