Pee Pee in the Potty!

Jack went pee pee on the potty twice today! Yay!

Oh the screaming!

The first time I saw him after surgery went something like this: I remember hearing him cry for the first time. We were still in the OR and I remember gearing […]

Recovery

The road to recovery after my cesarean has been wonderful. Considering that this surgery was a major one, I’ve been doing/feeling great for the most part.
