November

Our son, Hendrick Milan Rivera was born on November 26 at 9:55am via cesarean section delivery. Bram and I chose it this way because my OB-GYN explained the risks of my age. Bram did not want to risk my life and the baby's life with normal delivery. I woke up three times in the recovery room. When I was able to move my feet up, they transferred me to my hospital suite.

The next day, I cried again when I held baby Milan in my arms. We were trying to teach him to latch on my breast. My tears kept falling from my eyes and Bram was worried sick...
