Chaseton Matthew is here!
He was born July 7, 2011 at 10:20am. He weighed in at 7lbs, 11oz and was 20 1/4 inches long!
We're home, adjusting, and doing well.
Here's Chaseton:
At 6:15am Thursday morning, Matt and I headed to the hospital. My surgery was scheduled for 8:15am.
I ended up donating 15 knitted hats in Chaseton's name to the NICU at St. Francis Health Center.
They we're very thankful for my donation!
Favors for our visitors. Hershey's bars and kisses.
As soon as I arrived at the hospital, they monitored Chaseton and I and got us all prepared for surgery. Around 7:30, my nurse came in and said that my doctor was running behind and another mom-to-be might have to have an emergency c-section. I understood because I immediately knew how the other mom was feeling, seeing as how I was in her situation with Jaelyn just four short years ago. We waited patiently to see when our surgery would be. Soon after, our nurse came back to our room to let us know that my surgery wouldn't be until noon because my doctor would be doing three c-sections before mine. I wasn't so fond of my surgery not being until noon, but I knew that I would meet Chaseton some time during the day so I tried to keep an open mind. I was in the bathroom when my nurse stopped by again to inform us that we would be having a baby right away! My doctor changed her schedule and was there to do my surgery!
They took me to the operating room, did my spinal block, and laid me down. I was waiting for Matt to enter the room when I heard the doctor say, "I don't feel comfortable performing this surgery here." I had no idea what was going on. The anesthesia ladies told my doctor that she needed to hurry and make a decision because my spinal tap wasn't going to last very long. Long story short, they found a gnat in the room and had to start prepping their tools and myself from the very beginning. The only problem was, I had already had my spinal block and time was ticking. As soon as they got everything under control, they brought Matt into the room. By the end of my surgery, I could move my feet and feel a lot more than I should have.
But the end result was well worth it.
