Exact replica

Tom & Scarlett <3
She is finally here. After horrific 32 hours of labor, emergency C-section and fetal distress due to meconium, our baby girl is safe, passed all her tests and is growing faster than mushrooms after rain :)

I am really trying hard not to think about the labor at all; troubles with getting epidural (took them 3 tries, as I was shaking violently from uncontrollable pain), throwing up, the oxygen mask... not sure if anything else could have gone wrong.
Wish I ate more that day, as I had no idea what recovery from C-section meant. I didn't know I won't be able to eat anything until the next day in the afternoon. I didn't know I won't be able to walk at all the first days, I had no idea I will be hooked to catheter and IV and I had no idea where the awful soar-throat came from... Nobody told me about the terrible shakes that came after I was barely able to stand, about the scary cold sweats that kept waking me up. ..

This all happened 4 weeks ago. I still can't drive or take the stroller out on my own, walk the stairs well, run or lift anything, but I am starting to function....at least mentally :) Still waiting for my appetite to return though...

And I love our little girl more than the world, also because she is the exact replica of my Tomberry.
