Week #1: Here she comes!!

Okay I know that I am really behind on my posting so I have decided to go back to the beginning and start from there.

I met with my doctor on Monday, June the 27th for my final visit. Much to my dismay my blood pressure was still fluctuating. So, my doctor decides that this little tyke needs to come out. I was definitely on board!!! I was ready to be a mom and ready to be done being pregnant!! I was not ready for her to tell me that it would happen in two days =\.  I guess we had better get ready for baby. Can you believe it that I had still not packed a bag for the hospital. So I went to work to break the news to my boss. You see the biggest event of the year was to be held on that upcoming Saturday and I had to break the news to everyone that I was going to be gone starting Wednesday. Needless to say he did not take it all that well =).
Wednesday morning came, bright and early 5:30 AM!! I am not sure if I was more excited about being a mom or about not being pregnant anymore, either way I was pretty excited. We were scheduled to leave for surgery at 7:30 AM, but they had a few emergencies that had to take precedence.  Finally around 8:30 AM we were off to the OR. That has to be the coldest room in existence!! Did not make it very easy to relax and keep still when they were putting in the epidural, I kept shivering. They made Cory wear the funny scrubs and of course they could not find any pants to fit him so he was wearing some awesome high waters. =) The only crazy part about the surgery was when I smelled my burning flesh. Luckily at the time I did not know it was me that smelled like that, but later Cory revealed the truth about that horrible burning smell I asked him about. Within 20 minutes we were parents. It was really easy and quick. I am pretty sure I am going to do that again for the next one, 2-3 years from now though, just not anywhere near ready to do the pregnant thing again.
