Zander was born at 7:50 am on December 31st. We woke up at 4:30 and got ready to go to the hospital. My dad and my sister came over to watch Logan until he could come to the hospital. It was very early in the morning and I don't think Mike-e slept at all the night before. We arrived at the hospital around 5:30 and got checked in. They put in my I.V. and ran some test to make sure Zander was ok. At 7:15 we went into the operating room and they gave me the drugs to make me numb. They started the surgery and Mike-e recorded when they took Zander out. It was really weird to watch and I'm happy I got to see it. Afterwords Mike-e got to watch them clean up Zander while they started to stitch me back up. My uterus was very thin and I bled a lot. They had Mike-e and Zander go to the nursery while they continued to work on me. At one point, I had lost so much blood they called a code white just in case I would need a transfusion. I wasn't really scared until a nurse from intensive care came over and held my hand. She said I would probably spend the night in intensive care and that freaked me out. Poor Mike-e didn't know what was going on, just that they had called a code a whole bunch of people had ran into my room. I can only imagine how scary that had to be for him. Luckily they were able to stop the bleeding before I need a transfusion. I was transferred to the recovery room where they brought Mike-e and Zander in to visit until we moved into our first room. Zander is so adorable and is such a good baby. He eats really well and hardly ever cries. I'm so lucky to have such a happy and healthy baby.
