I SWEAR child-bi...Stop reading the internet!!!!!!!! I SWEAR child-birth is not as bad as it sounds (or looks). With Jonathan, I won't lie - it was ROUGH. But I went all natural ... not even a tylenol in the delivery room. It was bad ... but once it was over, it was pretty much over. Sore, yes. But traumatized, no. With Noah, it was nothing. Epidural!!!! Lots of pressure, but not a lot of pain. In fact, I wanted to find the inventor of the epidural and give him a big ole kiss - alive or not! Haha! Greg didn't cut the cord either. He ended up watching at the end ... but he's been to war and has seen much worse hahahaha - Jay might not want to watch. I can't handle the site of blood coming out of me. Greg cut his arm open and ended up with 17 stitches. Didn't bother me. I had a small cut on my wrist from a broken window and almost passed out! So no mirror for me either! I think you'll be fine. You'll be glad to have Jay there. Just tell him if you feel crowded or if you need hair out of your eyes ... that sort of thing. He'll listen! Even stubborn Greg listened to stuff like that in that moment. hahahaha I totally understand your feeling like you need to take advantage of every "by yourself" moment. They don't come around too terribly often. But, there will be a day - several years away - when you are by yourself again (if only for a couple of hours) and you'll enjoy them just as much! I get those every now and then. Y'all are going to be FABULOUS parents!! I love how you are planning everything that's coming up now! I've had people call me and want me to keep their baby and I was full and they had to start work the next week! WHAT!?!?!? But, you are still about 4 1/2 months out and you're already thinking about it. That's wonderful. :) I wish y'all were closer - I would LOVE to keep baby Hawkins. LOL Good luck with that though. Robyn found someone for Zoey when they lived in VA. Y'all will too. I would ask around your office (Jay too). Word of mouth and personal references go a lot farther in my book than strangers recommending someone online. But, either way, you'll find just the right person/daycare!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07742197151611381828noreply@blogger.com
