Birth Story
posted on 12/27/2007

Arrive at the hospital at 5:45 am on December 27  2007. They took registered me and took all my information and brought us up to the room. I got a few id bands on and they put my IV in. Then they had me change into a hospital gown and hook me up to the heartbeat machine and contraction machine. I was on that until about 7:15 or so. Then we just waited. Finally at 7:45-7:50 am they came in and wheeled me into the OR. Once there they got me ready on the bed and started the process for the Spinal. That took a few minutes to finally get it in and ready. It did take a bit for my body to go numb. they also shaved me to get me ready. Then they brought my husband in and once he was sitting next to me they started to proceed with the surgery. I felt a lot of the tugging and stretching but no pain also I had on a oxygen mask and started getting nauseated so they can me medicine for that. From there they just did what they need to do and at 8:38 am after cutting through my uterus they reached our baby boy. My Dr was shocked as to how big he was. He was with JR while they cleaned him up and weighed and measured him. Kevin also got to cut baby Kevin umbilical cord. JR weighed in at 10 pounds and 3 ounces 22 inches long , does have straight reddish looking hair.It was wonderful hearing our baby cry that it had me crying.
