Hi everyone

I am here, just barely. That c-section kicked my bum big time! It was so horrible but I got a totally wonderful end result:

Baby Alle, 10 pounds even, 22 inches

I am SUPER busy. I have a 2 year old as well and we are all trying to get adjusted to the new little mite that has joined us. I will pop in as much as possible and get caught up.

Did I say that the c-section kicked my butt? Oh yea. It did.

**nandm** · 04-20-2008, 11:44 AM

10 pounds and nearly 2 feet tall! WOW! I would be a tired momma myself. Congrats, she is beautiful. Good to see you back. Take good care of yourself while you are healing and keep in touch as you can. You have been blessed with a beautiful baby.

I could not image carrying a 10 pound baby. Mine were all less than 7.5 pounds. But my last one was 22 inches long. She was running out of room before she decided it was time to come on out and see the world.

Hi Mama,
Congratulations! She is beautiful! What a lovely name too.

Oh she is so cute!! Take care of yourself mama.

historyteach · 04-20-2008, 08:08 PM

Baby Alle is just beautiful!
Look at those cheeks!!!

I'm sorry you got your butt kicked with the c-section. Take good care of yourself. Know that you have to have some time to recouperate too. When the babies nap, try to get down yourself, if you can. You deserve it!

Thanks for sharing your baby with us. Give her a hug and kiss from "auntie Debbie."

Shalom!

Congratulations!! What a beautiful baby girl. I understand completely about the c-sections as I have had two. One with a 9lb 8oz 21 inch long boy & the second with a 9lb 14oz 23 inch boy. They are 20 months apart. A lot of people have told me that it would be hard to have them so close together, but I like it that way. Easy to plan for things, they seem to like the same stuff, you can put them to bed at the same time, bath at the same time, etc. (Mine are now 3 & 4 1/2). Best wishes to you.

Beautiful Baby Alle.. Congratulations TiredMama!

TiredMama · 04-20-2008, 09:02 PM

Thanks everyone! Her name is Alessandra, but Alle for short. My first born was 12 pounds so she was a peanut compared to Adri (Adriana).

A beautiful baby indeed!! Get as much rest as you can, tho I know that being a new mom means being sleep deprived for a while.

TiredMama · 04-21-2008, 06:53 AM

NO kidding! I have entered into momentary lapse of reason.

Congratulations Tired Mama

liveweyerd · 04-21-2008, 09:09 AM

Congratulations!

And yes, I hope you grab every moment of rest you can nab!
Having done it both ways...c-sections are much rougher.

MrsMagoo · 04-21-2008, 09:16 AM

Wow she is gorgeous!!! You have some big babies lady!

Take care of yourself. I hope you have some help. I can't imagine having two kids that are close together - my three are 8 and 10 years apart which is only nice from an extra set of eyes and hands standpoint.

Keep the pictures coming. I love the names you've chosen for your children!

lexzus · 04-21-2008, 09:57 AM

Congrats Tired Mama

ccgirl2 · 04-23-2008, 05:23 AM

Tired, she's beautiful. C-sections do suck though, don't they?

TiredMama · 04-23-2008, 08:37 PM

Thanks everyone! Yes c sections blow huge ones. Ugh.

holy dang! ten pounds!

Congrats on the birth of ... your first grader!
She got a JOB yet???

I'm glad you came through normal &
with no complications!!!
Good to see you back on SR, hon.

TiredMama · 04-24-2008, 01:09 PM

Thanks all. She lost some weight and I had to supplement with formula. She lost a little over a pound and it scared the bejebus out of me. Now, i am breast and bottlefeeding. We are keeping an eye on her but she seems to be ok otherwise.
