day one

i was super nervous last night.

no sleep.

just tossing and turning, which is another reason why i fall asleep while burping spencer, texting sarah or watching television.

this morning when i came into the hospital, i was so nervous that my veins would hide as soon as the nurse would stick me.

she stuck me 4 times, but didn't mind.

I was so nervous that i was all giggles and shakes.

When being wheeled into the OR to receive my spinal block

i started shaking, he gave me my local anesthetic (which didn't hurt) and i would jump.

not because it hurt but because my body voluntarily jumped.

then i got my actual spinal block and it was amazing.

my blood pressure did drop tho, way low, like 60/30

the room was spinning and i threw up. 3 times.

i was so numb that within 5 min i was already cut open and passed the first test :)

my anesthesis was amazing.

austin came into the OR and took pictures, held my hand and was very very calm for me being cut open.

I'm still not in any pain, cross your fingers and toes for me that it stays that way.

I've thrown up like 8 times today, but i'm surprisingly okay with it.

i changed two boy diapers already, so far so good. i have not been peed on yet. :)

spencer is having a hard time latching on, but i think it's cause he's so sleepy.

i got up and did a lap, but had to go back to my room because i was getting lightheaded.

i sat on the couch in the room and threw up.. so i had to lay back down.

I'm so glad i decided to get a c-section as opposed to have another vaginal delivery.

lorelei was 8.2 and i tore.

spencer was 7.11 and im pretty sure i would have torn again.

the nurses are a dream.

educate yourself before you go into the hospital to deliver.

you'll understand so much more of what's going on.

lorelei loves spencer.

me.. she's getting warm to me again.

i think me being hooked up to wires freaks her out.

she hates our wristbands.

oh... my body temp dropped to 91 degrees, but i was so dang hot.

body sweating profusely, droplets coming off my forehead (which never happens), and it totally ruined my hair :( so no nice hair for pictures.

oh well.

i am loving life. no complaints here.

i couldnt be happier.
