As some of you may have read, Jay and I went to the hospital around 7 am on Monday, March 15, 2010 to prepare for the birth of our son, Dean. I had not slept at all the night before. The preparation for the c-section took approximately 2 hours. I was monitored, asked questions, and told about the spinal.
Just before 9, Jay went to the room where Dean and I would recover to put on scrubs. Meanwhile, I was in the operating room getting my spinal. I was so nervous that sweat was dripping down my body. Finally, they laid me down and did a couple "tests" to see if I was numb. Guess what people, I WAS:)
As the Ob's started the c-section, Jay came in and everything was under way. The Anesthesiologist had warned me that the hardest part was 2-3 manual pushes on the top of my stomach to get him out. Well, after much grunting and complaining (and about 20 pushes on my stomach) from the Obs, a very huge Dean was born. They could not believe that that much baby was in my stomach! He was 10 lbs, 12 ounces!!!
All in all, it was a great experience and it is too bad I was so nervous for it. So without further ado, here are some pics of the little (I mean - big;) guy!
