xp: Had my baby girl

rosesandpeonies · February 2011

I went in for my repeat c-section on February 8, 2011. It basically went as planned but I had some breathing complications from the spinal. I also had them after my daughter so now it has to be looked into so that next time it doesn't happen to me. Thank god I had better dr.'s this time and the nursing staff at this hospital was unbelievable. She was born at 8:42 am and was 8 pounds 1 oz, and 20.5 inches long. She was slightly smaller than her big sister. Her name is Brynn Elizabeth, and I am so happy we went with that name because it definitely seems to suit her.

Her big sister loves her and says baby and gives her kisses all of the time. There was a little regression in that my daughter wanted a pacifier again....having never used them since she was in the hospital (she never liked them), and she tried drinking out of the baby's bottle. That was about it though. I am so excited to watch them grow together.

As far as the repeat csection my recovery is going much, much better despite some complications. One of the worst being that I must of had a bleed they didnt see during surgery and now my entire "area" is completely purple (sorry if tmi). They told me that it might take up to two months for the bruising and swelling to go down. So even though I had a csection....it looks like I gave birth vaginally Oh Well! She is well worth it
