Happy News
Jul. 31st, 2014 04:55 amOn, Monday, July 28, 2014 I gave birth to a daughter, named Tatyana Carolina (or Tanya, for short) at 12:49pm. She is named after my grandmother and Bear's grandmother. At birth, she was 3615 gr or 7 pounds 15.5 ounces and 21.5 inches tall. I went into labor at 5am on Monday morning and left for the hospital at 7. The hardest part was over two hours of pushing with no epidural (if I have more kids, I will so get one! At least this is me on sleepy brain at 5am after getting maybe 4 hours of sleep in the last three days. And with hurting stitches. (I can't wait for next two weeks to pass to be able to walk properly and sleep on my side again. Or for my Mom to get here in the morning so I could get a few hours of sleep at all). She is very adorable and I'm sure I'd forget all this hardship later. It is pretty terrifying to be alone with a newborn - well, not alone, Bear is home all week, of course, but both of us are pretty clueless.
