Plus One

ur day started with the first blog post. About two minutes after posting our Dr. and Nurse came in and said that we needed to deliver today. M had been having contractions all night and was uncomfortable. She was 2 cm dilated and everyone felt that is was a good idea to get the show on the road. This first picture is of M getting prepped for the cesarean.

This was my view for the event. I might have gotten nauseous, almost fainted, and broke out in a cold sweat. I mean not everyday do you see your wife's guts. Let me tell you M has got a lot of guts.

As soon as the baby was out (G M K was born at 9:57 am) they immediately moved her to the NICU. I got to see her briefly in the OR, but M didn't. She was being fussy and the doctors felt that she needed to be moved asap. M was very disappointed. She heard her cry but didn't get to see her. After a few minutes I was able to take some pictures of her and show them to mom.


Eventually after a couple of hours of recovery mom got to hold sweet baby G. She is breathing on her own and has a great color to her. She is such a cute little girl and everyone said she has such an angelic face. M and I can't figure out who she looks like probably because she is still developing. I do think she has the D-lo's nose.



As you can see above mom got sick right after the cesarean. You can never have too many kidney trays around when you feel the urge. M might have blown through about 10. I hope that doesn't take away from the touching moment that is happening in the background.

This is G's home for now. She will be in here for up to 8 more weeks. We are so excited for the new addition and look forward to the day we can take her home. I thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. I am sure we will keep you posted with all of her baby steps.
