Well, I can’t hope to sit here long enough to give the full update the blog deserves, so I’ll just cover the highlights.<\/p>\n

The last couple months of pregnancy were miserable.\u00c2\u00a0 I couldn’t sit for more than 5 minutes comfortably, and at the end, I would have liked to live in my deep tub, where the bouancy of the water gave some relief from the discomfort and pressure.<\/p>\n

Following the advice of the diabetes nutritionist piled on the pounds.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve always needed about half the calories of a normal person to maintain my weight, so that should have been no surprise.\u00c2\u00a0 No one that hasn’t been here for the past 5+ years ever believes me, they think I am making excuses or something I suppose.\u00c2\u00a0 My OB finally agreed that I should disregard her advice and stop deliberately trying to up my caloric intake with (healthy)\u00c2\u00a0fats and oils to counter my low-volume intake brought on by the lap band — but not until I actually topped over 300 pounds, a sight I had hoped to never see again.<\/p>\n

I ran over term, and my OB scheduled me to induce labor.\u00c2\u00a0 They attached monitors to me when I arrived at the hospital and discovered that I was in very early labor (couldn’t even feel the contractions yet), and that the baby was in a lot of distress.\u00c2\u00a0 I was whisked off for an emergency c-section where they delivered her safely (the cord had been wrapped around her neck).\u00c2\u00a0 Yes — her!\u00c2\u00a0 It’s a girl!<\/p>\n

She's here! All 6lb 5oz of her!<\/p><\/div>\n

C-section recovery is going well.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve been suprising the docs and nurses with how well I’m bouncing back from the first day after surgery, so I guess I’m fortunate.\u00c2\u00a0 I know my SiL was on pain pills after her C-Sections for weeks and took a couple of months to even feel normal — so I’ll say I’m *very* fortunate \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Baby L has no regular schedule yet, and sadly\u00c2\u00a0I can’t just fall back asleep after being awoken from a 2 hour nap like she can, so as you might imagine and is normal, I’m pretty much exhausted all the time so far.<\/p>\n
