Logan's Birthday Story

On February 20th, 2009, we headed to the hospital at 2 p.m. for a 4 o'clock scheduled c-section. I was 39 weeks pregnant with Logan, who had been breech since at least November. When Brian, my mom, and I got to the hospital, the nurses rushed around to get things ready. At around 2:30, one nurse said, "Are you ready for a 3 o'clock c-section?" I told her I wasn't even ready for a 4 p.m. c-section so don't make it earlier. She then told me I didn't have a choice because my doctor had to fit in another surgery. I started to cry and get nervous since I wasn't mentally prepared for it to be so soon. I thought I would have time to just relax and wait until 4 p.m. came. Before I knew it, I was walking to the operating room with Brian. The anesthesialogist gave me a spinal block (it took 3 tries- ouch!). As soon as I was numb, Brian came in with his scrubs and sat by my head. Everything went so fast! Soon I heard the cries of my little Logan, born at 3:18 p.m., weighing 7 lbs. 11 oz. and 19 inches long. I saw Logan as he was cleaned and Brian got to cut his cord. The nurse brought my clean baby to meet me. After I gave Logan a quick kiss, Brian went with him to get checked out in the nursery. Logan scored a 9 on his 1 and 5 minute Apgar and was as healthy as can be! Soon I was reunited with Brian and Logan in a recovery room. Logan is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen! :)
