Hi all - I spoke with the new parents last night - Missy was then settled into her room. Paul had already changed his first dirty diaper and sounded so happy and proud of his new son! (Paul is younger brother to chrangharris here)
Missy told me every detail she could remember of her day - said it was *surreal* because she never had any hard labor and of course did not feel anything - and yet here is her son! She said it was pretty scary because it quickly turned into an emergency. Tyler's heartrate would drop as low as the 50's and it SHOULD stay up over 120. They had her get up onto her hands and knees (this is least distressing for baby) and gave her oxygen. Soon they wheeled her to the OR and gave her a spinal (this makes the patient completely numb from the chest down) so she could be awake and aware for the caesarian. Paul was with her except to run and get on his scrubs and mask. Tyler was born within minutes. I have only seen two C-sections but they are truly amazing!! It reminds me of a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat
Well, now MY baby has her own babyIt was great to talk with her and with Paul!!...all the way to Japan
OK grandma is done rattling now! I hope you enjoy all the pictures.
