Leah's Birth Day

One of the best things about the c-section was knowing exactly when you are going in. We were able to spend the morning at home with Clare and get everything ready. It was so hard dropping her off at day care knowing that I wouldn't be able to see her for at least a couple of days. We arrived at the hospital and were a little disappointed when they informed us that we would be sharing a room. We just couldn't imagine sharing a room with another couple and newborn but at this point we had other things to worry about. We went into surgery about 12 and at 12:40 Little Leah entered this world. The procedure went rather quickly and I before I knew it we were in recovery. Leah came out crying loudly and wanting to feed. She started feeding even before we left the recovery room. Before we left the recovery room we received the great news that we would actually have our own room. It was so nice to have our own space. Mitch was so helpful in the hospital and he was an old pro taking care of Leah. My recovery has been phenomenal compared to my first delivery.
