A New ICLW

Hi everyone...

It's been months since I've participated in ICLW.    Those three descriptors were what got me.  After dealing with IF/RPL for nearly three years, I just gave birth to a happy and healthy baby girl on July 1.  For months, I was terrified of using the word "pregnant", for fear I would somehow jinx the pregnancy.

Now that she's here, my husband (referred to here as Mr SC) and I couldn't be happier.  That doesn't mean that she can't be fussy, or that I don't beat myself up about the fact that I'm not exclusively breastfeeding.  We still find ourselves having a hard time believing that this is all real and are trying to figure it all out, one day at a time.

    Congratulations on the birth of your daughter! I just read through your birth story which sounds eerily similar to mine, early and fast. I was also on heparin and since it was so fast, there was no time for an epidural.

    So glad you finally have your miracle!

    Congrats on the birth of your daughter.

    Don't beat yourself up about not exclusively breastfeeding. Any breast milk is good. As long as she is growing and thriving, you are doing the right thing.
