He looks horrible. Inches of sole packed in and feet the size of platters. However, I'm pretty confident that once we get it all cleaned out and him trimmed down, he'll look almost normal. I'll have picks up in the day or two. :-)BrownEyed Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610547057139295854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374098783533915699.post-26730295948705470022013-03-29T17:02:56.769-04:002013-03-29T17:02:56.769-04:00I love to dig out bars LOL--seriously.

I've had epidurals (love them) and natural (the healing was quick... but I still like epidurals :) The joy is unexplainable. I remember my first I was so scared to change the diaper - afraid I would drop/hurt him. I got over that rather quickly. <br /><br />Relax as much as you can. Enjoy. If I have any advice it is allow the nurses to take the baby out of your room so you can sleep and bring the baby back when he/she is hungry if you are breast feeding. Also BF was not the easiest of things. One would think it would be as it is natural. I gave up to soon the first time. But the other five I nursed for 6 - 10 months. (it varied) If you have any questions you can e-mail me. I listened to some really bad advice about this subject. (I know you don't know me, so you might feel strange :P ) Can't wait to hear all about it.
