Update

Thank you all so much for all of your prayer!!! They really helped to calm my fears today.

I met with my midwife this afternoon and all is well - no organs are falling out of me. Wahoo! This is definitely TMI...but I'm going to tell you anyway. Apparently delivering 9lb baby in 7 minutes wreaked the muscles. So instead of being nice and tight on the inside they are loose and a little low making me feel (and look) like something is coming out. She said the large baby coupled with carrying my 18lb toddler around all day and getting pretty much no rest since the first week Hannah was born. She showed me several pictures in a few medical books to reassure me that everything was normal. She sent me home with a prescription to do 20 kegals we every time I begin to nurse Hannah and 20 when I'm done, as well as 20 any time I have to pee, when I open the refrigerator, when I wake up, and when I go to bed. That's a whole lot of kegals! She said that should help tighten things up. Hopefully at my 6 week check up next Thursday things will already look better.


So now that that's out of the way...Hannah Clare's birth story to come next!
