Well, Christmas came and went and we made it through without getting another Christmas Eve baby. My c-section was scheduled for January 6, but I'd been having contractions for several weeks. We hung out at Krista and Brady's house on New Year's Eve, but we were all so tired and we were back home in bed by nine. All through the night, I was having lots of back pain. It persisted through the next morning. We decided to head to the hospital to make sure everything was ok. It turns out, I was in labor and progressing rather fast. Dr. Brown was out of town so the E.R. doc assessed the situation and determined we should do the c-section before I got too far into labor. He wanted to get in the O.R. within the hour. We called Krista and she headed over with our kids. I called my parents and they headed down, as well. The next hour was the longest hour of my life. I got so scared. I just kept crying? I got so emotional when they wheeled me past my kids. I was certain I would never see them again. I guess it was a mixture of panic and hormones. Then, I had to sit in the O.R. for a few minutes. I was so cold, uncomfortable, and scared to death. I don't really know why. I think I began to remember the horrible pain with my other c-section. I felt so much better when Kyle got scrubbed in and came in by me. It wasn't long until we heard the first cries from our sweet baby. I couldn't believe how small she was. . . and how much she looked like her dad!
The waiting room was full of loved ones waiting to welcome a new baby.
Safe in daddy's arms
After my time in recovery, I got another glance. She had to stay on oxygen for a few hours, but she did great when they took her off of it.
We didn't name her until the day we left the hospital. We just couldn't decide!

She was the New Years Baby! It made it kind of special. We got baskets of nice things donated by the community- diapers, wipes, blankets, gift cards, booties, hats. . . There was some nice things in there for me also! We really appreciated all of it.
