I went in Friday morning at 5:30 am. to have Miss Emma by scheduled c-section, because she was breech. I was a nervous wreck before because it was the first time I have ever had surgery. The my surgical nurse and anesthesiologist were awesome! They ended up talking and saying wouldn't it be great if she could be born at 8:08 am. We laughed and even my doctor thought it would be cool to try. So they took there time with pre-op and then wheeled me into the room. It was the weirdest experience I ever went through! When they took her out they told me that she was in fact born at 8:08 am. I then replied with a "shut up"! She looked so perfect! She weighed 7 pounds 3 ounces and was 19 inches long. I went to recovery for 2 hours and then got to my bed! I then met my nurse for the first day and it turned out to be the team mom of one of Eric's old baseball team growing up. She is awesome and made the transition great! My recovery is going really well! I would just like my appetite back! Angela was so great and fell in love with her right away and did not want to share her with anyone... including me! We came home today and was so happy to be home!
On another note today is Angela's 8th birthday! I cannot believe how fast she is growing up! It seems just like yesterday she came home from the hospital. We did cake and presents for her tonight! I have pics but have not uploaded them just yet! I will write more later as I am tired and need to make sure I am rested enough for the middle of the night feedings, since daddy does produce milk!
