Sophia's Gabrielle's Birth Story...

Wow!!! Are we glad to be home!

I'm going to start this post with a little bit about Sophia's birth story...

We went into the hospital on Monday morning for our c-section. We were told to be there at 7:15am to get checked in, meet with Anestesia and Dr. Seager, then have the c-section at 9:15. Well - 9:15 came and went and we had not yet met Dr. Seager. I guess they are a little behind! Turns out we were bumped 3x because of emergencies. Around 12:15, they came and got me to bring me over to the L&D operating room waiting area. Around 12:40, Irene the nurse who would be in the c-section came to get me to have my IV put in and my spinal block, then she'd get Adrian and the fun would begin.

The c-section was definately an exerience... which is making me think that I might do this again! It was absolutely incredible. Little miss Sophia wasn't quite ready to come meet us, as when they went to pull her out, she scooted up higher into my ribs and they had to use the vaccuum to get her out!!! Little bugger!!

She looks just like Anika when she was born EXCEPT for the full head of dark hair!! She does have a few patches of really blonde hair in the back, so I'm sure the dark hair will fall out and she'll be blonde just like her sister :)

We are home now from the hospital and it feels so good to be a family again. Anika has tomorrow (Friday) off of school so depending on how I feel we might go get some groceries. Its important for Anika that we all do things together so we'll see what happens :)

Here are a few pictures of little Sophia... we love her soooo much!! (click to enlarge)
