My daughter was born January 12, 2010 and I have to say ..... as much as I hated being pregnant .... I can't explain that feeling you have that first time they show you your baby ..... There is nothing in the world that beats that feeling !!!!!
I was very surprised at myself the day before my scheduled csection and the day of .... the day before I thought I was going to be a nervous wreck but kept myself busy ..... and I actually slept which I didnt think I would and we got up early on the 12th since we had to be at the hospital at 7 or 7:30 and got ready and headed that way .... we arrived at the hospital a few minutes after 7 am . They got me into my room and all set up then my mom and nanny arrived shortly after and we sat there visiting and I believe Mark and Vicki came next then the others came =) !!!! We had a crowded room..... Everybody was waiting and super excited to meet Riley Paige Land ...their Granddaughter, and Niece !!!
They took me back close to 7:30 and Riley was born at 7:49 am on January 12th !!!! SHe weighed 7 pounds and 7 ounces and was 18 inches long ...... They showed me her over the little curtain and I cried and Cody cried ( Such an amazing feeling ) to share this with the person you love so much !!!!
They got me to the recovery room where I stayed for about an hour and fed Riley and then they got me into my own room and everybody got to come in to see me =) !!!!!!! They didn't stay long so I could rest !!!!
The next several days ...... We had tons of visitors !!!!!! It is so hard to get any rest though at hospitals with all the staff coming in and out of the room to check the baby and to check you ... especially the first 2 nights checking me alot since I had surgery !!!!! I went in on Tues and we finally got t go home n Saturday and we were so ready =) !!!!!!!!! We were both exhausted and ready t get home .... which they kept us all freakin day Saturday ... we were ready to leave at 9 am and got home at 6 pm !!!!
Such a wonderful feeling though ...the first time seeing your baby ( here is this little life that you and your husband created) such a miracle and a blessing !!!
