Aubrie Kathryn's Birth Story

We arrived at 5:30am for a 7:30am scheduled c-section. A couple other mama's were close to delivery so we had to wait a bit. Once those babies were delivered it was time to head into the OR! The doctors, nurses, and anesthesiologist were awesome. Once she arrived docs and nurses were all taking bets on how big she was. The closest guess was 9lbs from the anesthesiologist. Bigger than both my other 2 girls by far. (they were 7.8 and 7.3). Then they gave a minute for her to get her cord blood and then dried her off a bit and handed her to me for about 10 min or so while I got stitched up for skin to skin. <3 Then they took her and weighed her and wrapped her up and I was wheeled into recovery. I kept getting waves of nausea and eventually ended up throwing up twice RIGHT as my 2 girls and nana and papa walked in (NOT what I wanted everyone to see, ugh!) I pretty much slept through her first day and missed her first bath and the girls getting their big sister gifts from Aubrie. :( Totally makes me sad. But the second day I was much more coherent and got to enjoy my baby girl more. :) She's a delight and a great addition to our family. She sleeps great 3-5 hours and is rarely fussy. Her big sisters adore her, and the eldest pretty much thinks she's baby's mom. >.< That's been fun...lol. I'm still in a lot of pain almost 2 weeks out, and am worried about handing all three of my girls once hubs goes back to work on Monday. Hopefully it goes well!
