We got to the hospital at 8am Jan 17th, I went to triage and so many nurses came and discussed the procedure to me over and over again. Everyone was sooo nice!! I was kinda nervous, this was the first surgery I ever had or ever been hospitalized. As 9:40 came around they wheeled me to the operating room when I began crying, I couldn't believe I was about to meet my baby girl. I was given a spinal epidural which was a bit uncomfortable at first but after that, I felt nothing below my chest. They had the radio playing while they were doing the surgery. They began around 10:10am and at 10:20 I heard my baby crying and just began balling. I remember the song that was playing was Justin Timberlake, until the end of time. My mom was in the room with me the whole time and after they checked the baby out, she bought her to me. I was speechless!! So while they stapled me up I got to hold my baby and we took pics. They weighed her at 9lbs 8 oz and 21 1/4 inc long. After I was wheeled to recovery with my baby and once I got the feeling back in my legs, I was able to breastfeed Alanna. She latched on the first time with no problem. My baby stayed with me the whole time which was wonderful. The recovery was the hardest part, afterward I felt a little nauseous and vomitted twice but once I got into my room, I got some pain medication and I was up walking by the next day.

Breastfeeding has been going very well. Igot my milk on day 2 and baby girl loves to eat!! I just wish she would wake up so I can play with her. We just got home today, Jan 20 and I cant stop staring at her. I feel so blessed right now and can't wait to have baby #2!!

Alanna is now almost 6 weeks! The time has flew by so fast. I can't believe 6 weeks ago I was prego. Alanna is changing so much by the day. She's gained weight, now weighing 12lbs 4oz. She's eating very well and breastfeeding is going great. Its our special time together that both of us enjoy. She got one shot last week at the doctors and is getting 4 more in 3 weeks. I think I'm gonna cry!!
