A baby girl

This goes to show you how completely swamped and consumed you are when you already have one child, a toddler who demands your time no matter what. Our family welcomed a baby girl in March. She was 6.3lbs and 19 inches long born by c-section. A healthy, happy girl who is now 8.4lbs and nursing like a champion. My second c-section and third abdominal surgery was a bit traumatic. Our little one was transverse and lodged under my ribs and hard to get out, then I had adhesions that caused lots of bleeding and prolonged time on the table. By the time it was all said and done I was exhausted and by the time I got home completely anemic from acute blood loss. But now, 4 weeks later I am healing and getting around okay. Its tough managing a toddler and newborn, but God is with me and I will be okay. I am learning more and more each day and loving the joys and taking the sour with the sweet. I think this is it for me, but hubbie wants to give it another go for a boy. I say, two is plenty and had refused all conversation regarding another baby, but God is in control and His will will be done in my life. I look forward to seeing what he has pre-destined for me. Amen!
