Tuesday September 2, 2014

Monday seemed to be the longest day ever,  I kept looking at the clocking thinking the day couldn't possibly go by any slower. By the time night came I couldnt go to sleep, I felt like a 5 year old waiting for Santa. My mind was racing because I had no idea what to expect, in just a few short hours I would be having major surgery to meet someone I've loved for nine months. 
Tuesday finally arrived and I woke up at 6am to get ready for our big day! I had my hair and makeup done all before 7am because there was no way I was going to look ugly when I was in the operating room. After this the times seemed be fly by and the next thing I knew I was walking to the operating room. 
As I walked into the operating room I remember thinking "holy cow it's so bright and so cold in here." I instantly started to shiver because well hello I had nothing but a hospital gown on (haha). I had I sit on this little table so they could start my spinal block. As I'm sitting there waiting for the lady to start it I kept telling myself quit shaking, if You don't quit shaking she's gonna miss and I'll be paralyzed. So I sat there with my eyes closed and I prayed. 
Then the anesthesiologist said "ok you should start to feel your legs going numb," and boom that quick I couldn't feel my legs. Once my legs were numb the rest of my body quickly followed and I couldn't feel Devin kicking anymore either and that scared me until the man anesthesiologist told me my belly was moving like crazy. Finally, they let Kale come In and I was so happy to have him with me and as soon as he sat down time really flew. I remember being told your incision was just made and seconds after the anesthesiologist told Kale if you want to see your son be born stand up now and then all I could hear was the most beautiful cry in the world. I cried like a baby. I was so happy I couldn't stop crying. My son was finally here! The moment I had been waiting for what seemed like forever was finally here. It only took two minutes from the time I was cut open to have Devin out and in the nursery. The longest part was when they were putting me back together and shortly after I was taken into my room to recover. 
My little man was born at 9:00 am weighing 5 lbs 13 oz and 19 inches long. And I was finally able to hold him a couple hours after he was born.
