Lydia was scheduled to arrive at 7:15 the morning of March 10, 2015. Alex and I arrived at 5:15 am to get my IV fluids and antibiotics started. By 6:30 we received word that our csection would be pushed back about a hour due to an emergency csection happening at the moment. While we waited my nausea grew. I hadn't eaten since the night before and was experiencing morning sickness as well as some nerves. I asked for some medicine but the nurse refused saying I had to wait until the anesthesiologist was ready for me. Around 8:15 I was wheeled back to the operating room, said goodbye to Alex and the door, and was taken inside. It was a whopping 65 degrees and it was cold.
The anesthesiologist asked how I was doing and when I complained of being sick he agreed to give me some meds. By then it was too late. I was laying on my back and could feel the urge to hurl quickly approaching. I was able to wait until I was numb and was given a nice little blue bag to throw up in. Due to the fact that I was now numb from the waist down, I had a hard time getting my abs to work and began to dry heave. I threw up the whole time I was in the OR and then for the next hour or so once I reached recovery.
Alex came in but by that time I was so sick that all I could concentrate on was making sure I hit the blue bag and not passing out. Lydia arrived at 8:58 am healthy and screaming. Just the way we like. Alex made sure I was ok and then left to take care of Lydia. He even got to cut the umbilical cord. (He wasn't able to do that with Tays.)
We are now home and both healthy and happy. Lydia lost quite a bit of weight in the hospital and left weighing only 6 lbs 12 oz. We took her to the doctor on March 13 and she had gained 3 oz! Let's hope she continues.
Tayson is loving having his baby sister home and hates to leave her side or mine for that matter. 3 days in the hospital without having him around was way to long and we are both glad to be back together. We are also grateful that Grandma Marie has been able to be here to entertain and take care of him. It made the hospital stay more bearable and has made my recovery a little easier. She is a brown haired, blue eyed beauty and we love her!
Enjoy the pics!
