I had a hard time emotionally during the surgery. Most of the time was spent thinking about Aidan and how I so badly wish that he was sitting out in the waiting room with our parents to meet his little brother. I also thought about his birthday and how different it was. I was zoned out until I could hear Dr. B getting excited because "Nugget" was about to be born. At that point I started bawling, I couldn't stop. It was amazing to see him over the curtain when Dr. B showed him to me. Then to look over and see Ingrid and Amber taking care of him...I lost it again. Don't even get me started when I saw Chris holding him for the first time.
Dr. B said that I had very minimal scaring from my first c-section and that it was very quick and easy for them. I'm healing pretty well. The recovery is very similar to what I experienced with Aidan. It's a little harder because of the lack of sleep and wanting to hold/help Lucas all the time. Chris has been amazing and doing so much because I can't. It also helped a lot that my mom has been staying with us. I've only changed a few diapers, while they've changed countless. I know my time is coming soon when I'm feeling better so I'm not feeling too bad. ;-)
So that's the story of Lucas' birth in pictures. I will upload more pictures from the hospital soon along with how that went.
I love you Aidan Christopher and Lucas Alexander

ReplyDeleteOh, I remember the day when my sister gave birth to her first baby. She's very happy like you! I can say babies are truly gifts from heaven. After she gave birth, she really gained weight. At one year, she focused more on caring for her baby and on resting. Last year, she decided to undergo a diet program, and she's planning to undergo labiaplasty at San Francisco. I told her before she undergoes that kind of treatment she must prepare herself, and read some articles and news about it.
