i stole that line from the johnson's commercial and i couldn't agree more =) my little one decided that he couldn't wait till the 15th and decided to put me on active labor on August 13th. i was complaining about contractions around 9 in the morning then finally at around 11 am, we called the hospital and they told us to come on over. i had some cereal that morning so my c-section wasn't scheduled until 2:30 pm that afternoon...they also had to inject me with teributalin (again) to stop the contractions. baby vaughn can't wait to get out of my tummy! after much prep work, mark donned his scrubs and i was wheeled into the operating room. the anesthisiologist and the nurse were great, they made me me feel so comfortable during the process -- the epidural didn't hurt at all (just like a pinch) and they put these leg warmers on me which really helped distract from the pain...(oh yea i told the nurse if i could buy those warmers for my own use hahaha -- i had a sense of humor while going thru surgery!). the c-section didn't take that long which surprised the heck out of me. mark came in and sat down after i had my epidural and we were chatting for about 8 minutes then the doctors told him to prep his camera because the baby's gonna come out! so i was in surgery around 3 pm, and vaughn came out at 3:21 pm -- the experience was so surreal! i couldn't feel anything from my diaphragm down and all of a sudden i hear a piercing cry fill the OR! vaughn arthur endraca was born a healthy 8 lbs 1 oz 19.5 inches. i can't even begin to describe how i felt when i heard him cry for the first time. mark and the doctor took baby vaughn to me so i can at least feel his cheeks and start to bond with him immediately after birth. i looked at my little boy, then at mark, and the tears just started free falling =) having him is definitely one of the happiest days of my life.
the recovery is another story -- not quite as fairytale like as the birth but hey, it was all worth it! hahaha. anyway, i made a website for baby vaughn and posted pics, so click on the link if you wanna check it out:
