| Getting ready for surgery. |
On Monday, April 21st at 11:00am I went to Good Samaritan Hospital to check-in for my scheduled c-section. Brian and I filled out admission paperwork while I was hooked up to the baby monitors. They took blood and put in my IV. When they were done, my cousin Brenda came into the room and hung out with us until 1:00pm when I was walked into the operating room.
This c-section experience was much different from the first. This time, like I said, I walked into the operating room and climbed onto the table! Last time, I'd had an epidural in place for the previous 12 hours. With that being said, I had a lot more drugs in my system, and I could tell!
Pain no, pressure YES! OK, the pressure did cause some pain. They put in the "spinal", which is administered the same way an epidural is, between the vertebrae in you back. It took the anesthesiologist 3 times to get the "right spot". Not comfortable!!!

Jack Dylan came out at 1:32pm weighing a whopping 8 pounds 13 ounces and 20 inches long. Jake was in the womb 2 weeks longer and was 8 pounds 9 ounces! I can't imagine how big Jack would have been! For Jack's head circumference and weight he was off the charts in the 110th percentile!
