Birth Day

Your dad and I arrived at the hospital at 7:00 this morning. I was scheduled for a c-section at 8:45. I got checked in and the nurses monitored your heartbeat for a little while. There was another soon-to-be-mom who needed her c-section before me, so we had to wait until 10:00. I was getting really nervous about the surgery, so it was nice to have some time to relax. Soon, the nurses came and wheeled me into the surgery room, Daddy had to wear a silly outfit over his clothes, so he put that on while they prepped me. Before I knew it, Daddy came into the room and only minutes later they were taking you out of me. You let a very load (but beautiful) first cry! And you kept crying, there was no doubt you had a healthy set of lungs! The nurses weighed, measured and examined you. And brought you over for Daddy to hold you and I got to see you and touch you. You were just as perfect as could be. Daddy and I got to just stare at you and admire our new son for awhile. Soon Daddy went with the nurses and took you to the nursery so you could get a bath. I went to a recovery area, where I rested and the nurses made sure I was doing okay. Soon, I went to my room and you were brought in and I got to hold you for the first time. Your brother Sam was there to see you too and Jacob also got to meet you.
