While we don't have a super exciting births story, I thought I'd share a little what we experienced and a picture that may go poof in a couple of days.
We went into the hospital according to our appointment. It was great and there were no emergencies ahead of us yesterday. We got in and they had me change and put in an IV. I had to wait around a little bit but it was still within our appointment time of 11am. The team that performed the c-section was awesome and funny. I didn't have my OB but had another fantastic OB instead. The anesthesiologist was hilarious and had a funny bedside manner. He did an awesome job ensuring I didn't feel anything and that I was comfortable.
Our little man was quite comfortable where he was. He did not like his evacuation notice and was high in my ribs. The doctors had to really work to get him out (which included what felt like bouncing just below my ribs). It hurt a bit but I was laughing (and crying) through most of it. In the end, they had to use forceps to get him out. as soon as they got him out, the OB announced that it was "a little dude!" And both DH and I broke out in tears. I think we both thought we were going to have another girl so this was an awesome surprise. (It would have been awesome if he was a she as well).
They did skin to skin as soon as he was cleared by the nurses and doctors from the neonatal unit and he stayed with both my husband and I into recovery. He's been working on nursing but didn't sleep last night unless he was held. He's still in my arms as I type this out. It's been a long day but everyone is happy (even DD said that we could keep him. She wanted a little girl).
*poof!*
