Cant Live Without It #2 - AbdoMend

I had planned on having a natural birth, I read all the books, attended the classes, and mentally prepared myself for it. After 45 hours of labor with no progress however, I ended up with an emergency C section.
Recovery in the hospital as hard, i couldn't sit up, cough, sneeze, or even feed my baby without being in a lot of pain. Once I got home however, I was able to put on the abdomend belt and it changed everything for me. The belt held in my incision for me and made every day movements so much easier to handle.
The belt has an adjustable strap that allows me to tighten the belt as I regain my shape and is just as comfortable today (5 weeks post-partum) as it was in the beginning. Next time I ill definitely be bringing my Abdomend belt with me to the hospital, even if I plan on having a natural birth, because i know the difference it makes.

Babies - The Movie

Congrats To Heidi and Seal

Heidi Klum gave birth to a girl, Lou Sulola Samuel, on Oct. 9 in Los Angeles, her rep confirms. She joins siblings Johan, 2 ½, Henry, 4, and Leni, 5.

The supermodel's husband, Seal, released the following statement Monday night:

"It's difficult to imagine loving another child as much as you love your existing children," Seal writes. "Anyone who has a family will tell you this. Where will one find that extra love? If you love your existing children with all of your heart, how then can one possibly find more heart with which to love another?"

"On Friday, Oct. 9, 2009, at 7:46 p.m., the answer to this question came in the form of our fourth child and second daughter," he continues. "Lou Sulola Samuel was born, and from the moment she looked into both of our eyes, it was endless love at first sight. She is beautiful beyond words and we are happy that she chose us to watch her grow over the coming years."

Congratualtions Duggars

Mackynzie Renée Duggar is in for an avalanche of family attention: She's not only the first grandchild in the reality TV clan, but she already has 17 aunts and uncles, plus one more on the way, since her grandparents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are expecting their 19th child in the spring.

Mackynzie was born at the home of her parents, Joshua and Anna, with a midwife and doula attending the birth. "Josh was excited to participate in the birth as well," says a family friend. "They are both so happy."
