He's Here!

Only 3 weeks late but Ethan George arrived on 3/24 at 7:12pm at 9lbs 6oz and 22" long. I was scheduled for a c-section the next day (because of his size estimate) but much to my surprise, my water broke Monday morning!  So we dropped A at school and headed to the hospital. To wait. And wait and wait. I wasn't having contractions and the baby was tolerating things fine so we kept getting bumped!  The worst part was having no food for the entire day.

I wasn't scared until they wheeled me in the OR. I got the spinal and my legs were numb within seconds it felt like. Overall it wasn't bad, just some shivering from the anesthesia. The OB took his time stitching me up too which is partly why I healed so well I think. Chris went with Ethan to the nursery and to see my mom then we met up again in recovery. I was still a little out of it and the ice chips the nurse gave me tasted like the best things ever!

Once I got feeling back in my legs they let me go back to my regular room where just continued nursing and napping and getting checked by nurses for the next few hours.
