Hi ladies! Sorry I've been MIA for so long. I've had an interesting few months!!! After a month of bed rest due to pre-term labor, Morgan Giada arrived 3 weeks early on January 14th! She's the most amazing thing on the planet...as I type this I get teary-eyed just thinking of her (ridiculous, I know). She had a growth restriction in utero and was born a teeny 4 lbs 4 oz. by some miracle besides being early and being so small, she required NO NICU time. The docs were shocked!!! I ended up with the dreaded c-section due to not progressing past 4 cm after 17 hours of unmedicated labor (pretty proud if I do say so myself, lol) and the baby showing signs of stress. It was a miracle in disguise as the cord was wrapped tightly around her neck. She was able to come home with us when I was discharged! She's the coolest thing ever. Knock on wood, she's a great baby so far. Motherhood is waaaay more taxing then I ever thought it would be, but I wouldn't change it for the world! And, I might add, labor pains didn't even come close to my period pain. I was literally shocked. Don't let anyone ever tell you your awful period pain isn't a big deal! I've missed all of you and hope you're all well! I must say I'm already freaking about getting my first period. Although I had a pretty difficult pregnancy, at least I wasn't ovulating or getting a period!!! I'll have to work on posting pics...I'm a little rusty!

Aw, Talia, I'm totally tearing up reading your post! I'm so incredibly happy for you and your family. She is quite the miracle baby, isn't she! What a cute little peanut. I really hope this gives inspiration and hope to all the other endo girls out there that have had similar struggles. I can imagine you're worn thin these days but it's worth every second of it! Love to you & the fam!

Wonderful! I'm sorry about the C-section. I look back now and realised I was pretty lucky only having one surgery for delivery. I highly recommend VBAC when you go for number two!! Congrats
