I had other strange nightmares, but the one thing that made me more anxious than anything was a lot of visitors the first few weeks and everyone passing my baby! I hovered over everyone who had my baby ready to snatch him back if I didnt like the way they were holding him.....I loved that I could take him away from everyone to feed him and get him all to myself. I have relaxed a ton and now know that its just the mamma bear instinct! Everything will be fine! :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08316818257112062906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670607329289410484.post-6177313579214810252011-05-19T12:47:11.993-04:002011-05-19T12:47:11.993-04:00Katie- You are completely SANE, you are totally no...Katie- You are completely SANE, you are totally normal for wanting it to just be you and JM. Flynn and I were the only ones in the room when the time came for Flynn Gregg to enter the world. I was in labor for 30 something hours and everyone was hanging out until pushing time, then I kicked everyone out! If you or JM feel uncomfortable asking anyone to leave....nurses are really good at it!!!! Just explain to them that you would like to have some time to yourselves after the little one arrives. Family and Friends are also more accommodating when they hear it from the hospital staff. It's your show, don't let anyone rain on it! Call me if you EVER have questions!! Seriously, I know what you are going through!!SnoopyMeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126851208714303554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670607329289410484.post-9390123475691735632011-05-18T17:49:29.061-04:002011-05-18T17:49:29.061-04:00A "birth plan" is a good idea...but reme...A "birth plan" is a good idea...but remember anything can happen and it's important to be flexible. I wanted a COMPLETELY natural birth (no drugs and vaginal), but 13 hours in I begged for an epidural and 8 hours later (yes a total of 21 hours of labor) my son was borb via c-section. Not what I wanted, but it worked. We were the first to hold him, me on the operating table, and then we went to recovery for a bit before the folks started to come in. In essence, let your husband know what you want and expect it, but don't be surprised if things don't come out precisely as you plan. It's all about a healthy baby :) <br /><br />miss ya<br /><br />p.s. how bout Mattie's pregnant too!!! 10 weeks!!R.

Lm...Omg - "My vagina. our baby. the end." Lmao, you tell them sister!<br /><br />As for being selfish, no friggin' way. This is your first child, you get to decide. Think about it this way, they've waited years (perhaps decades) for grandchildren, what's a few more hours? <br /><br />Miss ya.silvertaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04832495741085552318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670607329289410484.post-63514403413424740302011-05-18T16:33:45.688-04:002011-05-18T16:33:45.688-04:00I wasn't even pregnant and I had a crazy pregn...I wasn't even pregnant and I had a crazy pregnant dream!
