It's a boy!! Calvin Patrick is here Cal arrived at 8:54pm on 11/11 weighing 6lbs 10 oz, 19". We were expecting a big baby but he's such a tiny nugget. He is so sweet and alert and all he wants to do is nurse (which is already off to a bit of a rough start, but hopefully it'll get easier). So in love!!
Oh my gosh!!!!! He is beautiful. So happy for you. I love his name and everything about him. Wishing you a good recovery and lots of baby snuggles. Congrats!!
Congrats! What a sweet nugget. I hope you're getting the support from the hospital on nursing that you need. For me, it came down to lots of water and keeping my stress about it down.
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.
So adorable!! I love alert babies. Im a fan of talking about boobs if you ever need input.
Ubsolicited advice ahead: If youre having tenderness/cracking/etc I'm a big fan of lanolin, air (i.e. being totally topless when you can) and those hydrogel pads.
