We were able skype with Mitch right after she was born, while I was in recovery, so he got to see her within a couple hours of her birth. I was also able to email him pictures throughout the week, and he called me 1-2 times per day to check on us. Things went well for the most part during that first week. I had a c-section, and she was born breach (we had no idea she was breach until they pulled her out). Dr. Huggins did the surgery. I felt a lot more this time that what I have in the past, so it was a bit harder for me. I was able to nurse her immediately with the help of the lactation specialist (I haven't nursed the other 3 girls). A couple days after her birth, I ended up getting an infection in my incision, so that was tough, but otherwise things went well. Madi has jaundice and has had to be on a bili blanket for a few days, so she is our little glow worm. I am doing much better now and I am recovering very quickly, thankfully. I am so thankful for the help of family, friends, and ward members. They have all been so helpful with watching my kids, bringing meals, and just being supportive. I will post more pictures of Madi later.
