SOOO the question I get the most often these days is..."how does such a little girl like you have such a big baby??" The obvious answer...."I GET ENORMOUS!!!!" I figure SOME DAY I will be glad to look back on these days of ENORMITY and be glad I went through them in order to have such cutie kids. SOOO I am posting these for the sake of looking back some day, although TODAY is NOT THAT DAY:)
This picture is from about 5 minutes before getting in the car to head to the hospital...so THIS is pretty much as BIG as I got. YIKES. HERE is what happened that day....
First, the night before we got a phone call from Kadlec telling us that they wanted us to come in at 5 am instead of 10 am. SOOO I pretty much spent my night packing, cleaning, stressing and NOT SLEEPING!!! I don't do well with plan changes....to put it lightly. I also wanted the house clean and neat when I got home AND so I did some stress cleaning. I even got back up at 3 in the morning (after abou an hour and a half of sleep) and dusted the house. Crazy what we do in times of worry:)
We headed to the hospital and got the party started. I actually started having some pretty strong contractions during the time I was hanging out there, so I guess Ethan was ready to come out NO MATTER WHAT. SOOO I guess I got to experience a bit of labor even with the C-section...lucky me;)
FUNNY STORY: Todd and I have kinda gotten unlucky with our nurses BOTH times we have been having our kiddos....this time was not exception. As I was laying there on the monitors the nurse came in and said "I am really sorry, but I messed up a little bit. BUT I already called your doctor and he said it was OK." First thought...panic!!! But then she went on to tell me that she gave me SOMEONE elses antibiotic in my IV. SO I looked up and sure enough there was a bag hanging up there with someone elses name on it....WHAT THE HECK!! She then told me that the antibiotic I got was WAY stronger and I would be fine....chuckle chuckle. She was Chuckling....not me!!! Seriously WHO DOES THAT!!! I guess I am fine though.
ANYWAY...when the time came Todd scubbed up and we WALKED down to the surgery room. SERIOUSLY I walked out...waved at my family....saw Emersyn...walked into the surgery room and layed down on the table. Kinda creepy. ACTUALLY...the whole time I was thinking "I can never do this again...it is too weird." The nurses and doctors were joking and laughing and showing each other pictures on their phones while they were prepping me...I just thought I might think about adoption next time:) BUT then I saw my little man and thought....You know what??? I can probably do this at least ONE more time---ha ha!!! I guess that is why Heavenly Father makes babies so darn cute...
Needless to say... I lost a little weight this last week...at least 10 pounds I guess:)
