We are having #3 in Sept via repeat c-section and so I am excited for #3's arrival and the whole experience once again. I find myself repeating my past birth experiences over and over in my head from time to time because it brings tears of joy to my eyes! Funny how I feel the same way about the "stay-cation" and the "bonus day"! LOL Hope you are enjoying every minute of being a mom of 3!

He's perfect! <br /><br />I had a similar experience with my epidural (I have vaginal deliveries, so IDK if it's supposed to be different or not) with Tyler... except my numbness didn't stop at my sternum, and I started slurring my words. Fun times. This was after the 3rd epidural (the first two didn't take on one side).

I had the exact same thing happen with Jax, but unfortunately, I couldn't breathe at all and they had to put me under, which then stopped Jax's heart. It was incredibly dramatic and scary but I'm so grateful for a healthy boy 5 years later. And I'm so happy for you and your family and that sweet little brother. Can't wait to watch him grow :) XOXOJennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09833851753546419052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647270264720619268.post-62989903959881639482014-05-05T12:18:37.434-04:002014-05-05T12:18:37.434-04:00This is precious!
