The life journey of a first time mom and dad


We (me and my husband) are very excited as first time parents of a baby boy. His name is Ethan and he is 2 months old. As first time parents, I felt like we did not know anything about babies and what all you need to know to make your life and your baby's life comfortable. I want to help parents like us who know nothing about babies. I work as a teacher at a high school in DFW, Texas and my husband works as a QC at an oil refinery. We have been married for 2 years and we had our baby Ethan on June 30th of 2012. I have taken 12 weeks off from work to be with my baby. I have to get back by mid- November. I remember, when we first started getting ready to go to hospital, we were really confused of the LIST OF THINGS FOR THE HOSPITAL. The only thing we really used was an outfit for the baby to come home and a car seat. My baby came 1 month early, he was due on July 22. I was running a fever of 106 and my baby's temperature was high. I had been on labor for 3 days and had already dilated. So I had an emergency C-Section, the doc said that my baby could die if we waited. I was very upset, because I was hoping for a natural birthing process and what I got was the complete opposite. I was by myself(WITHOUT MY DEAREST HUBBY BY MY SIDE) in the middle of all the docs and nurses in UNIFORM. The last thing I remember when I lost consciousness was the doctor explaining the process, and my hands tied up. I was so scared about the life of my baby. I was not conscious when the whole birthing process took place. SO I WAS STILL UNCONSCIOUS WHEN MY BABY CAME INTO THIS WORLD!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Life gets more easier once your baby is 3 months old. Just take one day at a time till then.
