I Didn't Have an Orgasm, But it Was Still Awesome
So tired.
So, so tired.
And happy.
And tired....
My second little baby boy was born on Monday, August 20th. He is beautiful. Wondrous. Everything we could hope for and more. I can't believe I ever felt disappointed to find out we were having another boy.
This is definitely the way it was meant to be. Little Guy and Littler(?) Guy are already becoming friends. (That is, if you consider getting bobby pillows thrown at your head by your older brother a sign of friendship.)
We have been in and out of the hospital since Monday because the baby had jaundice and we're not quite out of the woods yet so blogging might be sporadic until we really get settled.
Eventually, I will post the birth story. For now, suffice it to say that I only attempted to throw myself out the window once to end the agony. My labor was much shorter than my last one - only about 12 hours of the I'd-rather-have-a-root-canal-with-no-anesthesia-than-do-this-shit-any-longer kinda labor. And although I did have pain despite the hypnobirthing I studied, I mangaged to get through it with no drugs. Woo-hoo!
Overall, it was an awesome experience. My only regret is that I didn't experience an orgasm during labor.
I guess a girl can't have everything. Heh.

Congratulations! Wonderful news and it sounds like you did a great job. You deserved that orgasm, dammit! Next time... *grin*
Congratulations!!!
Congratulations hunny!!!!! That is just brilliant news!!!!!!
Gozar and I are doing a little victory dance round the livingroom for you and the 'no drugs' situation....you are officially a heroine!!!!!
Congratulations!!! Why does it seem like only a few months ago you announced you were pregnant. And now, littler guy is here!
Wow! Just wow! Can't wait to hear all about it and him!
Hey - I do the birthing thing without drugs also; I hate pain, but I hate hospitals more. My midwives know to keep any sharp knives away from me during labor, so I don't attempt to give myself a C-section to get it over with. I just wish I knew whether the joy I feel upon seeing my newborn is love for the newborn or just plain relief that the pain is over.
Of course, we all know that the pain isn't really over - we get to raise them for 18 years. For all the gory and humorous details, check out my blog The More The Messier.
Congratulations on the new baby!
Let the pillow fighting between brothers commence! (I soooo remember being right there in your shoes!)
Rest.
WHERE ARE THE PICTURES!!!!!?? lol. I'm glad everything went well! Hope the jaundice goes away soon. Hopefully you'll be reading about me giving birth next, I'm 3 days from my due date!
Congrats! I am so excited for you guys. Wish I could be there!! Now, stop reading your blog and go take care of yourself. :)
Love ya,
Andrea
Congrats to you and your family. Squee. So happy and excited for you all.
YAy, congrats! Glad to hear everything went ok, can't wait for the birth story!!
Congratulations! Maybe you only get one - either at the beginning or at the end. (Minus the lots in between. It is nine months for goodness sakes.)
Congratulations!! Can't wait to see a picture!
Congratulations on your newborn!!
FYI i couldnt stop laughing at the 'd-rather-have-a-root-canal-with-no-anesthesia-than-do-this-shit-any-longer comment you made.
Congratulations! And you are woman, hear you roar with your no drug taking self.
Now, I demand pictures. When you feel up to it, of course. :)
Oh yeah!!!! Congratulations!!! I can't wait to see pictures!
Congrats to you!
Sending huge, huge, huge congratulations to you!!! Yay!
Welcome Littler guy ... you have one cool mama :)
Congrats on your new bundle of joy!!
Congrats!!! My Little Guy (as opposed to my Big Guy) was also born on August 20 ... just 3 years ago. A great date, indeed!
Good luck with the next 3 "foggy" months.
