Postpartum Journey (part 1)

I had been debating on whether or not I was going to write this blog.  I wasn't sure if I wanted to talk about my birth story of our little girl.  But after receiving many questions about it from people and encouragement from some friends and family, I decided that I would write about it and make it a 2 part blog.  First, my labor and delivery story. On August 14th, at 1:01pm my life was turned upside down when a little 6lb 5 oz girl came into the world after over 26 hours of labor, and 5 days overdue! My journey through pregnancy, labor, and delivery was nothing crazy or too special.  I was very fortunate to have a complication-free pregnancy and labor.  Even going 5 days overdue, I was thankful that I wasn't horribly uncomfortable.  I was not happy going 5 days overdue, the smallest of walks or anything would exhaust me, but I wasn't bedridden so for that, I am grateful. In the early morning of August 13th, I woke up with what felt like mild period cramps.  Noth
