Arianna-LeAnne`s birthstory

Well I went in for a scheduled c-cec which was to take place at 7:30. We went ahead and started a little early. I started having contractions while in the hospital getting prepped for the surgery. Doctor asked me once again if I was sure I wanted to have my tubes tied. I was and I wasn't. I kept thinking what if something goes wrong. I even asked would she be able to see if the baby was okay 1st (I felt very selfish for even asking that but for some reason I had this nagging feeling like something was gonna go wrong. Well I was really nervous and freaking out about getting the spinal because last time it took them almost 45 min to get it in. But this time It literally took less than 5 and in 30 sec my bottom half was numb. It took a while to get to Arianna because my Dr had to cut through so much scar tissue and when she got to her my Dr realized whether or not I wanted it or not having anymore kids was not going to be an option. I had so much scar tissue that the actual incision where the cut me last time was so thin she said she could see through it and that I am very lucky to have had the baby in the hospital because If I would have had her on my own I most likely would have bled to death. That was scary to hear but for some reason not a complete shock. Any ways, when I looked over at my husband he was crying and then we heard Arianna cry for the 1st time and I had tears streaming down my face. I was happy and relieved at the same time. The only thing I remember waiting for was to hear her cry. It was the most beautiful sound I had ever heard. My life is so complete now. The c-sec itself wasn`t so bad...Getting my tubes tied was pretty painful. At that point the anesthetia (sp?) was starting to wear off (had to cut through so much scar tissue it took up time) so they gave me nitrus oxide (like at the dentist) and that made me feel so high, I knocked it off my face...lol. Then I started to feel them in my stomach again and the anesthesiologist (sp?) said this time don`t take it off...lol. After that I was dozing in and out and hearing bits and pieces of the conversations that were going on around me. I am still recovering and it is still painful but I know that it won`t be forever. The only really bad thing is My hubby and I had to stay in recovery for more than half of our stay at the hospital. the night be4 we went in they had 17 births and didn`t have any rooms available so another couple and us were stuck staying in the recovery room. It really sucked. It was so small, we had 1 tv (which I hogged) and we couldn`t really have any visitors. Plus the recovery bed is not an actual hospital bed, it`s like a labor and delivery bed with the really thin frame and mattress. It sucked. So glad that`s over with. My husband has been the best support I have ever had. He helps me to and from the bathroom, in and out the bed, and he helps me clean my incision. He has been by my side and been through everything I have been through except the actual birth (I know he would do it for me if he could). I could not ask for a better partner in life. He has been absolutely wonderful (I feel bad he has to wait 8 weeks...lol). Our family is now complete and I am so happy that our little princess is out and has been able to join our lifes. Children are the best gift and absolute blessings.
