Well - someone above knew better than to let me go about making all my inappropriate jokes about forks and knives . . .
During the C-section I was nauseous with my head hinged over a little pink dish the whole time while the sweet anesthesiologist was wiping the drool from my mouth.
I was so excited to see all kinds of stuff in this C-scction that I didn't see in the past - like I wanted to see my organs and all kinds of other stuff. But alas - my blood pressure kept dropping so it made me sick.
However - aside from that everything went well and our little girl was born a little over 3 weeks early weighing in at 6 pounds 9 ounces and 19.5 inches long and she is truly Smokin' Hot! (just like her ultrasounds showed us!) :)
We are all doing well - she has a bit of jaundice and is hanging out at the nursery under the lights and looks like a sun tanning diva.
We are so excited to have her and our other two kids are absolutely in love with her. It's been 5 years since we've had a baby at our house and things seem remarkably new and overwhelming and remarkably the same all at the same time.
Now we'll see what happens when we actually go home . . .
I'm pretty confidant that I've all ready had a few hormonal moments -- like when Mark took a picture of me and the kids the other day and deemed it a mugshot. It was all I could do not to cry and be like "oh! So you think I"m fat!" poor guy better brace himself.
I also woke up this morning from a dream that I was in an ice cream shop with Eskimos and I just got to make the ice cream creation of my dreams - I was just about to take my first bite when . . . my nurse woke me up to give me my painkillers . . . I again wanted to shed a single tear. :)
More updates to come!
Congratulations! I swear I thought she was a doll when I saw the thumbnail in my blogroll!
