I am so grateful for wonderful friends and neighbors

I truly feel blessed to live in the ward and neighborhood we live in. My baby is 12 days old now and even yesterday we were still getting things brought to our house. I have never had so many friends bring me goodies or just stop by to see how I am doing. It has really been a blessing and humbling to me, and it has really helped my recovery so much to just know that so many people care and are there to help if I need it.
This recovery has been a little harder for me. The birth of our little Griffin was very stressful both emotionally and physically for me. He was turned sideways and then my blood pressure dropped right before delivery which made his heartrate drop and scare us all. I was on oxygen and having a hard time breathing. Because our darling boy was so big that they brought in the forceps and she explained that if she didn't get a hold of him just right with them she could break his neck. Luckily they didn't use the forceps, but I did have to have a very big episiotomy and a lot of stitches. In addition to that, when my doctor broke my water they discovered that he had had a bowel movement, so they didn't want him to cry when he came out and they had the respiratory team in the delivery room and passed him off to them immediately after delivery. We also had a herd of BYU students in the room the whole time, two of which started crying, saying how beautiful it was, while I was struggling to breath. I told my husband that I would rather have a C-Section than be threatened with forceps and vacuums for my baby again.
I am sure other mom's have gone through similar things, but for me it was a stressful situation, but a great relief and wonderful feeling to see and hear that our baby was okay and healthy.
Anyway, the point I was making was that I have been exhausted up until lately and I have very much appreciated the wonderful people who have thought of me and just made me feel very loved and cared about. I promise to get Thank You cards out soon, but I have never had to write so many, but I am grateful to have to. I am so happy that the Lord led us here and has kept us here so long. We live in a wonderful place surrounded by wonderful people!
