Motherhood is a blast. I love it, who know right? Nearly the 3 month mark I'm having a lot of reflecting on the plans I had made...
I'd planned on having a 3rd trimester, 3D/4D ultrasound and belly bump photos taken; instead I ended up having him the day before the appt, and getting newborn photos instead.
I'd planned on attempting the most natural vaginal childbirth possible for me; I ended up with an Emergency C Section.
I'd planned on breastfeeding exclusively (no bottles, or nipples whatsoever) and not introducing a Binky till well past the one month mark if ever; he ended up using a Binky since birth (NICU nurses gave it to him) and he uses formula occasionally, and bottles... also because he's had them since birth.
I'd also planned to breastfeed immediately after birth; I ended up not seeing him again till he was 36 hours old.
I'd planned on taking 6 maybe 8 weeks of Maternity Leave; I ended up with 10 and a half total.
Honestly. I don't care a wit either. I'm just glad he's happy, healthy and here with me =)
The best laid plans, life has a way of getting in the way! At least what happened brought Brogan and that was the most important part of the plans.
