Having a Baby... Dos

Well if you didn't know by now Baby Dos was a girl!! Well is a girl. The whole experience was so different this time it made me smile.

So here is a little breakdown:

1. I was informed in the hospital room that I would be walking to the operating room for my scheduled C Section. I asked, "Wait with my butt showing?"

2. When the loud nurse comes in and asks the other nurse to switch patients becasue she can't find a vein for an IV, it is OK to give your husband the look.

3. Operating rooms are colder when you aren't rushed in and it is always weird to see and hear the nurses prepping and having common conversation.

4. If it is a GIRL and you didn't know it, your husband is likely to stare at her and never let you see her, then to watch her for over an hour while your parents and his sit in a waiting room wondering, "Did Shannon's last C Section take so long."

5. NEVER let your husband out of the room while, your toddler is visiting for the first time, all grandparents are there, and your cell phone won't work to beckon him back.

See fun times. Although, it has been fun, so far B is a great sleeper, I have been able to nurse for 9 days... (With H, I lasted 8 days then pumped) Although I do find myself forgetting so much from the early days, like when do you eat solids? Can't you walk yet? When are you gonna get night and day confused? How long do you eat every 2-3 hours?

Anywho, another bonus is my heart did grow, and H and B both have special parts, but my son does look like a giant now.
