Jackson Daniel Holbrook was born on May 30th at 9:05 a.m. He weighed in at 8 pounds 11 ounces and was 20 inches! No wonder I was miserable. Things went really smoothly this time around and he is a great baby so far. Here's a brief run-down of events:
7:30 a.m.- got to the hospital & proceeded to get into my lovely hospital attire, got an IV, had a billion different nurses and doctors come talk to me, and started to wonder why I was doing this!
8:30 a.m.- walked to the operating room (which was freezing!), got on the table & recieved my spinal which was not nearly as bad as I was preparing myself for. Once I was numb, Matt came in & kept me informed about what they were doing to me moment by moment.
9:05 a.m.- I heard "Here's the head. Boy, you're glad you are having this kid by c-section!". Out he came & everyone commented on how big he was. For the next half hour or so I just lay there looking at the ceiling trying not to laugh as my doctor had an ongoing commentary about 80's music & sang various Tesla songs. I love my doctor!
11:00 (ish) a.m.- I finally got done in recovery & got to go to my room, where everyone is waiting. I got to see little Jackson & hold him for the first time, which was awesome!
The next few days are pretty boring- sleep, nurse, get out of bed, get back in bed, get vitals checked, take drugs, watch t.v., hold Jackson, repeat, repeat, repeat!
I'm so glad to be home now, though walking up the stairs is no treat at the moment! Things are going really well & I'm so happy.
