There is life after a C-Section!
If you would have told me three and a half months ago that I would be shoveling leaves, running up and down the steps, taking Lucy for walks… I would have thought you were crazy. Alas, I AM doing these things! Yay!!!
I tell ya, after they ripped open my stomach, pulled an almost 9lb baby out, shoved my intestines back in and sowed me up starting from my muscles out, I didn’t think I would have the same life I had pre-pregnancy.
After that experience I told Ryan the I was not having anymore children… EVER AGAIN! No way. It is possible that I could have a child “V” but if I continue to have big babies, it’s back to the cutting board. Eeeek.
But you know what, even though it was the absolute hardest thing I have ever been through physically in my life, the blessing that I hold in my arms every morning was/is worth it.
It only took ten weeks to be feeling almost back to normal… haha… only. ugh..
I also can’t forget that God’s grace carried me through every single day during those ten weeks and continues to do so today (that is why Lucy is still alive- what the heck do you do with a baby?)…
So, as I was outside today, raking leaves, trimming bushes, pushing Lucy in her stroller… Thank you Lord that I am able once again to live a normal life. May the next babies (Lord willing) not be so big.
I know this is a weird post, but I am just feeling so happy today and I guess when I am happy my mind is all over the place (okay, I know, it is always all over the place). Whatever the reason, I am not in pain and I can enjoy these beautiful days with my family and I am just so thankful for that!
