Into the World...

So this is Luca's story. We got to the hospital a little early. We waited forever after goin through registration to get back to the prep room for the c section. It was a little tense. We kept going through everything and I went over Doc Hunter's prep talk with me a thousand times in my head. We got back to the prep room and things went quickly from then for several reasons. The lady came in asked all the medical questions and stuxk me (twice OUCH) for the IV. I had Toni do the pubic shaving so we wouldnt have to deal with that mess. Next she put the catheter in. Folks if you have ever had this done with no numbing med then you know what I am talking about. Here I am pregnant with a 9 lb + baby pressing on my urethra and all this woman can tell me was take a deep breath. I did and it still hut like hell! I was shaking from the pain of the catheter right up until they injected the spinal. I went into the OR got up on the table. They did the spinal number and then the actual spinal and I laid down. Toni was out in the scrub up room getting prepped as well and pacing around. When she got to come in I was pale and concentrating on every single breath I took. Imparently I have some syndrome I didnt realize I had that makes a person loose the ability to breath and then have there blood pressure drop out. The Anesthesiologist took Doc Hunter to the side (above my head where I could hear) and he said "We gotta get this baby out now her blood pressure is steadily dropping" Next thing I know they were cutting me open. Telling me to look in the upper mirror to watch my baby come out of my belly and Luca was born.
