People said write up your birth plan but keep in mind that none of it will go as planned. Well, in my case that was especially true. After I was induced on my due date in hopes of pushing out my baby as I had hoped...things changed and due to complications I had a c-section. I didn't get to hold little Dylan after he came out of me, I could hardly catch a glimpse of them cleaning him up. My 4 days in the hospital were filled with more unexpected moments - some frustrating and others exhilerating.
I keep laughing to myself that none of this was going as I planned (and I'm a big planner!) and I struggled with accepting things as they came up. But I can say with all honesty that I'm getting the hang of how my life as a parent will always be- unexpected. And that I can let go and go with the flow because I learn to enjoy it better that way.
My son Dylan is almost a month now and I think we're getting along great. I'm starting to get his cries and know what he likes. I sense when he's about to sleep and when he's about to wake up. I feel very connected to him and love having him around...even when sometimes I want to sleep instead of carry him. Fortunately, my husband Tommy has been home with us also bonding with our son. This whole experience of becoming a family is pretty cool stuff. Not always easy but worth every effort.
One other thing I've learned is its hard to watch a baby and blog...sorry I've been offline too long. More to come!
