I have a few minutes to share our quick birth story and will upload pics later b/c they're on the other laptop.

He was breech so we schdueled for a c section on 11/2

Everything was ready to go by 1:00 when the doc had an emergency vag delivery. Once he was done with that delivery he came in, got me ready and had my husband enter. Not even four minutes later, at 2:06pm, Rocco came into the world. I heard them pop my bag and then I heard Rocco cry a loud, long wailing cry. As soon as I heard him, I started crying hysterically they had my husband take pics of rocco coming out and being cleaned and everything - it was great.

20 minutes or so later, I was wheeled into recovery then they brought rocco in about 1 hr later to bond w/DH & I. It was great. He tried to breast feed and was able to get a decent latch on after a few tries.

I was wheeled to my room shortly thereafter and was released yesterday. My family has been great. Two of my brothers drove from NY to FL to surprise us and see their nephew for the first time. :) I can't believe I didn't want their help at first...STUPID - there's no way I could be alert today without their help and support!

Recovery is a little rough - the gas pains were the worst and the inability to sit comfortably isn't that great either but..,He is a great child and I can't believe that he is mine! In the end, it's all worth it!

I'll post pics in a little while

Congratulations! I can't wait to see pictures.

Try to walk around a bit--it's not easy, but it does help in your recovery.
