Among the roughest of my life, certainly.
The labor was rough. The delivery was
rough. The effects on my body were rough.
It has felt like a "one thing after another" scenario...and it's not over yet.
So rather than taking time to elaborate on what happened, I'm conserving all my energy to gather for whatever's coming next.
My beautiful baby boy was born at 7:23pm August 10 at home. 8lb 8 oz.
It was a transformational experience. One I'm still processing.
I still don't quite know what to say about it. Except maybe this:
In the end, no one delivered this baby but me.

Super woman! My thoughts are with you, and I'll wait for the story, and the picture. Do we have a baby-J lookalike? You have TWO CHILDREN! :)
That last line ROCKS! I loved it. I'm sorry it's been so rough. I've been thinking about you non stop and dying to hear any updates... when you're ready. I know what that transition is like and bless your heart my thoughts and prayers are with you, my dear friend. xoxo
I'm so proud of you Marissa and all your strength. Best wishes and congratulations on your new addition. Can't wait to see photos. And an early Happy Birthday to you!
Marissa, way to deliver your baby. You rock. Plead know I'm here and ready to help/talk whenever you need it.
I stopped trusting my google reader to do the job and started coming straight to your blog this past week--hoping for news of his arrival. I'm so happy that he's here, and that you're here. I'll be anxiously awaiting more details, once you're ready to give them. Hope you're well!!
Hugs to you!! I can't wait for an update and pictures!!!
For some reason all I can think of to say is:
Hooah!
Like, what army dudes yell.
Among the roughest weeks of your life? Oh dear! I hope you're doing okay. I'm so glad to know he's safely here, and I hope you are both getting some rest. I look forward to hearing more about his birth, but only when your ready... which may be awhile, it sounds like? yeah, lots of changes going on right now, I bet. hang in there.
