Saying Goodbye

Today was a sad day.
I hate saying goodbye.
It is hard to believe that we are no longer under the care of a midwife (midwives). Hard to believe that Zacharey is almost 6 week old. Hard to believe that this chapter of my life has come to a close and that it is time to move on. Can we go back please?
The type of care a Midwife provides has zero comparison to that of an OB. I wish I had of used a Midwife for Alex and Nathaniel. It is so much more personable. They genuinely care about how you are doing, what you are feeling and what is going on. It is more like sitting down with an old friend than a health care provider.
My midwives were fantastic and if I have the opportunity to do this all over again, I would not hesitate to use them again. I have no idea if it is even possible to have the same Midwives over and over but I would love it if it were. (I would like to be clear that at this point in time I have ZERO plans to become a family of six. Being a family of 5 is overwhelming enough thankyouverymuch)

Sadly I never got a picture with Zacharey and Myriam, but I did get a few of Zacharey and Susan. (Susan delivered him)

Waiting to say goodbye

She wasn't pinching him, he was starting to get hungry... again

An update as to how we are doing- I had an oh so fun pap done. So I am good for a while (thank god). My stitches are all healed (which I knew) and I am good to go.
Zacharey seems to be having weight gain issues again. After our great 24oz gained in two weeks, he sadly only gained 4oz in two weeks. He is now 9lbs 12oz.
 I guess this means I am pack to pumping after every feed and SNSing whatever I get. Susan made a point to tell me not to stress about his weight gain (or lack there of ) but how can I not? 4oz in two weeks is a very small amount. It is discouraging. Especially since he nurses every hour for the most part. It is so much fun feeling ridiculously inadequate.
